Handling "Press any key to continue..."?

My java program executes an old DOS program for file conversion, which
is called by something like Runtime().getRuntime().exe("convert infile
outfile").

However, the 'convert' program asks its user to 'Press any key to
continue..." My first guess was to just write any character to the
process' InputStream, but this doesn't work; this is not specific for
java, as something like "convert infile outfile < anyKeyFile" doesn't
work from a DOS box either. Any clue how to simulate the pressing of any
key here?
