Hi all,

sorry for the misuse of this forum... though one of the smart here may
be of great help!

Ok, I have to process about 200 files though a program called dem2xyzn
(for USGS DEM files). This program runs only under windows (and dos),
and have basically no support. You start the program, then it ask for
the name of the input file, then for the name of the output file, then
if you are sure you want to continue etc.

I want to automate all of this...
There seems to be no way of specifying the parameters values (input,
output) when calling the program.

Is there a way to have a text being written in the current dos window?
something that would look like, in pseudo-code:

-call the program
-write input1
-write input2
-write any letter to tell the prog to continue
=start again with another set of input?

I have tried to do a batch file, but the "write input1" get executed
after the program has resumed...

Any help of hints would be greatly appreciated!!!
Jean
