Subject: Windows, Net::SSH: how do I send a password to sudo?

I'm establishing an ssh connection and then I want to run a command as
sudo.  Now, normally, the user will be prompted to put in a password to
run the command as sudo.

Here is my script:
-----------
Net::SSH.start( 'files02', 'myuser', 'mypassword' ) do |session|
  session.open_channel do |channel|
    channel.on_data do |ch, data|
      puts data
    end

    channel.exec "sudo echo \"hello\""

  end

  session.loop
end
------------

But this doesn't prompt for a password ( not surprisingly ) and of
course doesn't run the command.  Any ideas on how I could get the
password prompt to the user?
