In general, you need to prepend the pid of the running program, followed by a 
":", to the string to be sent
e.g.  46134: yes

If the program to receive the string is the only running process, or if the 
program is the most-recently started process, then 0 can be used for the pid
e.g. 0: yes

The same effect as a prepended "0: " can be achieved if the "command.send" (or 
translated equivalent) action is performed. By default, <shift>Enter is bound 
to that action in the command line.
