Virtual DOS Window in VB?

Suppose you have an interactive DOS program that runs as follows in a
DOS window:

C:\> Prog1
Enter a char, x to quit: c
Char you entered: c
Enter a char, x to quit: b
Char you entered: b
Enter a char, x to quit: x
bye
C:\>

Is it possible to run Prog1 interactively within a VB program eg by
faking out the DOS window in an API, or some other method?
I mean genuinely interactive, where the program is able to capture and
analyze the text in the intermediate Prog1 responses, and respond
dynamically. (The command line program I have in mind is much more
complex than Prog1).

Thanks.
