If you are sure of the crossing clues - then it's the only word that fits....

The new Crosswords section (just below Chatterbank) is good for these.
The same clue appeared in Crosswords in a 'local crossword' and was answered as INPUT here: http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Quizzes-and-Puzzles/Crosswords/Question1395711.html
The clue seems a bit weak though.

I agree it's not a good synonym but appears to be all it can be.
