James - Appreciate the quick response. Unfortunately not an option here.

I'm actually an end user on this particular iSeries and non-dev users are
extremely limited...so we have to treat the system as a black box.

I'm trying to get to the point where I can wrap certain iSeries
functionality as shell commands on the Linux box.

Have you looked at using the expect command? I haven't tested it, but I've used expect in other situations where I needed to automate keystrokes.
