I would like to run a program from hypercard.
Specifically, I would like to launch telnet, open a connection,
type in the name of the machine (actually, a library catalog)
and leave the rest of the session with the user.

Well, I've been looking and looking.  It's trivially easy to
launch telnet, but I'm stumped as to sending commands out of
hypercard and into telnet.  

Any suggestions would be welcome.
