Thanks!
I have to wait the program draw the screen and move the cursor.
On "Tera Term", it even highlight the line when I move the cursor.
I do not know how does the program work. I guss it used some kind of package.
I still did not figure out a way to do it.

I cut my teeth on this sort of thing using expect/tcl, and it looks like 
there are Perl modules that can also let you do sent/expect sequences so 
that everything is properly synchronized.
