Sending text to an open program

[lpme126]

I'd appreciate any help for this newbie here.
Liberty Basic has this great feature to Run an external program, which I have got to work.
But once open the program needs to be logged into.
Is there a command that allows me to send a string to the external program once it is opened, so it automatically logs in?

Any help appreciated!

There is no tools for that in LB, I think.
You probably could automate login by using one of scripting languages
(I could name VBSript, AutoIt and AutoHotKey, but probably there are more).
Or find program which just does logins for you.

Did you write the application? If so there are a variety of ways:

1) Send login info through the command line
2) Have the app read a .bat file
3) Set up a memory mapped file for the app to read (requires a knowledge of API)
4) Set up a message pipe between the caller and receiver (requires a knowledge of API)
