Yes, I have already thought about that and it's indeed the language that 
is the problem with that approach. So I was thinking that if I could 
catch the process waiting for input I could pick up the question (since 
I know what it asks for and what form it has. Like: "Do you want to 
continue [Y/n]?" Then let an 'OK' button or something feed the upper 
case letter to stdin).

Oh... hey, that might just work if I can 'detect' the brackets from the 
stdout output..??
I'll play with it and see how it goes.
