When I had to do this, 20 years ago, I wrote a script that did an echo 
command into rcabe, since there weren't enough switches to rcabe to do
it from the commandline back them.  I had to get froggy with it, cause 
there was at least one question that was optional; turned out a <SPACE> 
in the echo command solved the problem, even though it probably 
shouldn't have.

I would think that nowadays, you could in fact do it from the command
line.  Worst case, you'd have to do something like

$ cd /appl/filepro/$TARGET
$ for i in `ls prc.* | sed -e 's/prc.//'` do; rcabe $TARGET $i -whatever; done
