Thank you to all who applied.
Info for others dealing with same problem,
kixtart one line strings do not work,and were
tried first.

Freeware that provided shutdown function solved the problem after setting enough time
for calling batch files to complete. A neat
sleep trip for DOS is to do a START /w dir of a directory, redirect to a file, and then
delete the file. You control the time out by the directory you are listing. Since IO is slower than RAM, you have a pseudo sleep comand.

Also thank On_Jon for clarification of mouse
option. This I am going to go back and add.
