Subject: Simulating keystrokes for automated user input

I've written a simple console app (type command. get results. repeat.)
and I'm looking for a way to send it simulated keystrokes (hoping to
remotely send commands through a socket connection and have them "typed"
in the main console).  I thought the solution would be easy but I'm
finding it much harder than anticipated.

The solution needs to generate a keystroke programmatically such that
the console has no idea whether it was physically typed by the user or
not.

Tried writing to a modified stdin, directly editing /dev/tty, redirected
echos... no luck yet.

Any ideas?
