Actually, "\r" is the correct thing to do to emulate the user pressing 
the <return> key.  This will usually get translated to "\n" in the pty 
according to terminal settings, but this is of course system-specific. 

Please note the different semantics: you are emulating a user at a 
keyboard, you are not driving the application via a pipe.
