You can get a get deal of information at: http://expect.nist.gov/ (Expect Home Page). Also, you may want to look into getting the definitive book on Expect: Exploring Expect by Don Libes published by O'Reilly. in a pinch, you can always Google "using Expect". There are scripts around that can/will give you a guideline to go by. Expect is a great tool, really powerfull and easy to use.
