How can I in a OS/2 .cmd file in a OS/2 fullscreen session on the foreground
put a DOS fullscreen session on the foreground?

I use now a DOS reader for mail (MBM) and an OS/2 mailer (Binkley), both in
their own fullscreen sessions. In a batch file in the DOS session, I start
with Hstart an OS/2 .cmd file in an OS/2 fullscreen session on the
foreground which starts Binkley, so my idea is to call at the end of the
.cmd file a program that puts the fullscreen DOS session in the foreground.

Does such a program exists? Is there information available to make such a
program myself?

Start and Hstart can both start an program on the foreground or background,
so I think it should also be possible to put an already running program or
session in the foreground.
