I guess.
Use system a lot.
int main()
{
system("echo n >> n.txt"); //if you create this once, its there.
system("format a: << n.txt");
system("pause"); //optional, if run from win double click, its needed
//to see input.
//you have to have the keyboard input in a file somewhere; its the
//way it works. You may be able to stick the 'n' on the keyboard stream
//somehow. Not going to figure out that for you, but I think you can do
//it...
