I guess you still do not understand my worries Smile

The problem is not with feeding characters down the subprocess stdin - that is simple. And subprocess will wait if stdin is empty.

The problem is with user interface implementation - it is terminal responsibility to echo user input. Try to start a long process in cmd.exe (or linux terminal) and try to hit some character keys while process is running - the characters will not appear until subprocess blocks waiting for input (e.g. getchar). (Of course, it can appear after it ends too).

The problem is that there is no method known to me how to detect this "child process is blocked as it is waiting for user input - time to display user input line".
