Shell Script Referencing I/O

Is it possible to design a shell script to reference something that queries for input?

(This is not to make a script to ssh)

For instance if I have a command that when run, it does something like:
Code:
 %<Some command>
User's password?

Would it be possible to write a script to input something in that field?

Could I use $? in some capacity to do this?
