ACAD menu file

Good morning all
I am trying to do a few custom things to my menu file, nothing major. I want
to know if there is a way to get the acad.mnu to register an 'enter' without
damaging the exiting data. This is in relation to the right-click context
menus:

ID_Excel [&Excel]^c^c_start excel

After the 'excel', I want acad to just start the excel program, without
prompting me to hit enter. It runs the start command without any problems
and will set the word 'excel' where it needs to be; effectively, it just
won't 'hit enter' the way I want it to. I tried adding a space to it and
that did not work, though it worked when I did it for the 'fillet' command
(I added 'u' to the end of the code string to set it up for multiple
fillet).

If you have any ideas as to what I can do to get over this little bump, I'd
appreciate it.

Not sure but try this:

ID_Excel [&Excel]^c^c_start excel;

The semi-colon is the same as an enter key stroke.

 

Couple of variations to try:
^c^c(command "_start" "excel")
or
^c^c_start excel;
Note the ";" at the end.
