That's a great suggestion!  In case you haven't used it before, I
believe it's basically an extension of Tcl (called Expect).  I used it

it.  Sounds like you've made your bed, now you get to lay in it!

When all else fails, Expect is your friend. There are Expect modules for 
many common languages (perl, python, ruby, ...) so don't be put off by
