Harry,

Delete the hotkey assignment ::!{Enter} from the AHK script, then use
XPL to run the script: BX dos/nv/x/z /c d:\path\myAHKscript.ahkQ2 .
BTW, I've "migrated" from AHK to AutoIt v3. AHK is great at
automating basic tasks, but to do anything more complicated you have
to deal with AHK's quirky syntax, which I find maddening. "If 0 > 0"
to test for command-line arguments! Worse than than that, the fact
that words are strings unless they're keywords -- it drives me up a
wall. AutoIt has a standard scripting interface that will be very
familiar to anyone who's used BASIC or, say, Rexx. It's a bit more
challenging to use than AHK, but ultimately more satisfying. Just
sayin'....
