Has anyone tried to run a dos program under windows and supply any input for
it by using indirection ?  Ie:
	progm < cmds
where cmds is a file that contains the resonses to inputs asked for by progm ?
I have tried doing it by using the run command, and by putting stuff in a PIF
file, but neither technique seems to work.  Any Windows hackers know a way to
do this?  Is it even possible ?
