How to give multiple inputs to a shell script

Got struck while trying to write a shell script which should automatically give input.

While running a script for eg: (adpatch.sh)

It Prompts for Multiple inputs like:

Do you currently have files used for installing or upgrading the database
installed in this APPL_TOP [YES] ? need to give input here


Do you currently have Java and HTML files for HTML-based functionality
installed in this APPL_TOP [YES] ? need to give input here


Do you currently have Oracle Applications forms files installed
in this APPL_TOP [YES] ? need to give input here


Do you currently have concurrent program files installed
in this APPL_TOP [YES] ? need to give input here

so without using Command Line Arguments, is there any other way of giving the input automatically.
Thanks in Advance.
