I've been able to do that. I used the following method in KSH:
Build the list of commands (not in a file, but in a shell variable
CMD). Then I used the following command to call AFS backup:
( print $CMD; cat ) | backup
This executes the commands from CMD, and allows me to interactively
work with backup to query how the jobs are doing. I do have to use
the 'Ctrl-D' method of exiting backup though. This is really telling
cat it's found the end of the file and then backup terminates because
it's input closed. If I use the backup "quit" command, then I still
have to use the 'Ctrl-D' to get the cat to end.
