It may be possible. If the input process is simple enough, it could be accomplished with shell redirection, or if it insists on talking to a real terminal, the 'expect' language might help. Could you be more specific about what input it needs?

Yes, the user selects within a list and then inputs the date, for example


1 - Option 1
2 - option 2
the user clicks over option 1 and another list appears

3 - option 3
4 - option 4
and clicks over option 4 and then another window is shown where he inputs a date and clicks over a button.

I believe it sounds very complex when you put it into words but that is the way this process works.

=D
