I am interested in learning Expect for automating interactive tools,
but don't like TCL syntax.  Is there a way to implement Expect's
send/expect features  in awk?  Are there awk functions already written
to emulate Expect?

You don't need to know much tcl or even expect -- use autoexpect
to create an expect script which you can then tweak a bit.
