Subject: Is there a class that can control the command window

I use ruby to do testing.
There are some scenario that look like this:
1) Do some navigation in the web browser and do some operation in it
2) run some command, especially telnet to another machine and then run 
the commands
3) operate the browser again
4) run command in the telnet window again.


Now I use watir(Web application Testing in Ruby) to do navigation and 
operations in the IE browser, the script look like this:
$ie.goto("http://localhost:8080")
$ie.frame("basefrm").button(:value,"Add Report").click()

And what I need exactly is a similar ruby lib that I can use to write 
the script like this style:
cmdWindow.InputCommand("net user newUser /add")

I know that I can use NET::Telnet if I want to do telnet related 
operations, and when executing the local commands, may use system(cmd), 
but I want to identify the specified command window, and run the 
following commands in that window.

I wonder whether I have made the questiong clear.
