Power Plink wait problem

Hi,
I have run into a problem to which i can't seem to find any solution, posting here is my last resort.

Problem:
I am using plink to access my router and run a few configuration commands. When in enter configurations mode, instead of sending next command plink keeps on waiting for manual input. It only sends command while not in configuration mode. I need a way to make it send commands while router is in configuration mode.

Router is Cisco ASR 9001 (IOS XR)
using ssh to connect to router
command used to loging to router :
Code:
plink.exe username@routerip -C -pw mypassword -m G:\commands.txt"

Commands in commands.txt
Code:
show interface description | i Gi0/0/1   ( runs correctly)
configure terminal    (runs correctly)
interface Gi0/0/1     (command is not send to router instead it keeps on waiting on CLI. Command can be manually sent from keyboard, but that is useless as i want to automate it)


While waiting in configure mode, I can manually send the command by keyboard but then it kills the reason for using a batch file. However, if i manually exit from configuration mode, plink then resumes to send the next comamnds.


So I am stuck as how to make it send commands while in configuration mode.

#include <libexplain/wait.h> void explain_wait_or_die(int *status); DESCRIPTION

On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from explain_wait(3), and then the process terminates by calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE). This function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the following example: explain_wait_or_die(status); status The status, exactly as to be passed to the wait(2) system call. Returns: This function only returns on success. On failure, prints an explanation and exits. SEE ALSO
