A solution that I have used quite often in that kind of occasion:
1) make your application command line oriented only (read from standard input, output to standard output)
2) run it from Tcl and let Tcl send the commands.
3) (optional) integrate the Tcl part into the program with Tash, if you don't want Tcl to be apparent.
