[Gllug] Are there any expect experts out there?

I'm trying to write a script to get some data out of an app. We normally
talk to it using telnet, so I figured that it should be pretty simple to
write something using expect

The first response I send (the password) works fine, but after that a
"\n" at the end of a string just shifts the cursor down a line. If I use
the interact command after the send that didn't work I can press enter
and get a complaint about the sting including a control character. I've
tried using a "\r", which had the same effect, and using both in either
order just moved the cursor further down the screen.

Anyone have any ideas?
