Thanks for that hint, Thorsten.
I didn't know "expect" but it seems very powerful, useful -- and complex to 
master. :-)

Meanwhile due to your hint I've remembered the "simple" redirection method in 
Windows (and similar in Unix), and tried:

  cadaver < lines.txt

with "lines.txt" holding these three lines:
 >>
USERNAME
PASSWORD
ls
<<

It partly works: I see that it connects to the Webdav server and prints the 
directory, so it must have been logged in correctly.
However somehow it never comes to line three but just returns...
I've got no idea why and also I've got no plan how to make "except" doing the 
little task.
