interaction with external applications

[John Senford]

Consider the following senareo:
- A java program is running.
- It starts a specific Telnet type application with the Runtime.getRuntime().exec("c:here/there/BobsTelnet.exe")
- It must now send text to that application and also be able to retrieve
the output produced.

How can such interaction with external applications be carried out?

regards,
John
