sendSession was removed from the default dcop interface as it's a security 
risk.  You can turn it back on by starting konsole with --script.  That gets 
you feedSession and sendSession.  feedSession just sends the text to the 
console, sendSession does the same and presses return immediately afterwards.

Start a new konsole, open a new session within it and make that echo hello 
world:

konsole --script& 
konsoleinstance=konsole-$!
session=$(dcop $konsoleinstance default newSession)
dcop $konsoleinstance $session sendSession "echo hello world\!"
