Using SYSTEM to run an executable outside of Matlab

Hello,
I would like to run a program outside of Matlab, and I have been able to start the program using
system('MYPROGRAM.EXE')
However, when the program has completed running, it prints a success message to the Command Window: "Run completed successfully. Press Return to continue."
I would like to automate this process so that I don't have to manually hit Enter every time the program is called. I am aware of the & option to make the Matlab code continue running; however, MYPROGRAM requires the Return in order to print the output (to text file) that I need.
Any help would be appreciated. (I am using Windows, if that matters.)
Thank you!

try system('MYPROGRAM.EXE < MyInput.txt') where MyInpu.txt is a text file you created ahead of time. The text file contains nothing but a return.
