passing arguments to telnet

I can't tell you how to pass the arguments because I couldn't figure it out when I needed it....
BUT my solution was to create an alias in the .cshrc that would run a script (or a command)
Example:
Put this in the .cshrc
alias la 'ls -la'
Then, use the la in your shell script for the telnet.
I hope that helps!! Good luck!

I just found this on the internet. I think this is exactly what you (and I) were looking for!!
It's entitled "how do I run interactive programs shell scripts" (or in the backgroun)
