Powershell call command line application and pass variables when prompted

Question

I have a command line application I would like to call from inside a Powershell script. The purpose of doing so is so I can pass it values calculated by the script. Unfortunately the application does not accept command line parameters, but interactively prompts the user for them.

If I do a Write-Host after calling the command line application then the application must complete before the writes are done. If I pipe the values using Write-Host into the application call, the application behaves as though nothing but return was entered for each of the prompts. Is there a way to do this?
