I can confirm that both the start command as well as hitting RET 3-4 times
both work for me. Interesting side note: If the app brings up a dialog that
requires input then displays a main window, both require the 3-4 RETs. In my
case, I am using P4V.

1) In Emacs cmd shell type: p4v
2) Hit RET 3 times to display the connection dialog.
3) Enter connection information and hit OK

Note that nothing happens...

4) Hit RET 3 more times in the cmd shell
5) P4V main UI shows up.
