    Sorry I should have clarified. I think I can rule out echoing
    something to the tty
    dev, because this would simply result in text appearing on the
    terminal, as
    opposed to registering as typed into the command line.

    Just a quick example to help explain:

    If I have a blank command line and then echo something to the attached
    tty device
    ( eg, echo "Hello World" > /dev/ttyS0 ), then "Hello World" will appear
    on the
    terminal, however hitting enter will not result in an attempt to
    execute 'Hello', as it
    was not entered onto the commad line.

    Sorry, I know this is really poorly explained, just not sure how else
    to word it,
    hopefully you understand what I mean.

    Ta
