Well, if the program is truly reading from standard in, and not directly from
the keyboard, you could use lineout() to write the data to a file, and then
use :
   TYPE keyinput | pgm
wher pgm is the program you want to run.

Unfortunately, REXX/2 does not have the capability to push data onto it's
queue and have it show up in the next program's input stream (like it can
in CMS REXX).
