This forum stinks. I haven't heard from anything from anybody. In order to help other people who look for a solution to this issue, here I post a walkaround. In your script or program, get a object handle to the console window object and then call PostMessage(hwndConsole,WM_CHAR,'Y',0) Windows API function. Cisco should make their customer's life easier by monitoring their user forum actively. This issue should be nothing if they care about their customer
