In my foggy memory (and on an uncataloged disk from three Unix boxes ago)
I had a program that will act like a 'keyboard entry' program under dos.

The application is to have a 'script' that will 'type' in the 
proper values for me.  (I have tried a redirect and that did not work.)

Under DOS options there are phantom of the keyboard or even the 
utility under DOS 5.0

MS-DOS - it's not   marc@milestn.mil.wi.us    is your problem, not mine!
my problem!     If it was said on UseNet, it must be true.
   Unix - It's a nice place to live, but you don't want to visit there.

You want `expect'.  The master copy is at NIST somewhere, but in
any case archie should dig it up for you.
