Hi,

It seems to me that "MV" is not a command name (perhaps a commande alias).
You should use the full command name and you have to add a space or a carriage return after the command name.

doc.SendStringToExecute("_.MVSETUP ", false, false, true);

or

doc.SendStringToExecute("_.MVSETUP\n", false, false, true);
