I cannot find a user manual for the program.
The software appears to be more than 20 years old.

If it accepts through command line as an input argument then you can try this
system('C:\NEC-PRO16\BIN\NECWINP.EXE input.txt')
and if it accepts it as input text, then you can use redirection
system('C:\NEC-PRO16\BIN\NECWINP.EXE < input.txt')

But that does not mean that the program is able to accept the text file from the command line. It might not be supported. You need to check the documentation of the exe program to see if it accept the input arguments from the command line.
