‘myname’. Up to six items can be prompted for in a QUERY dialog. The
string which follows QUERY is the title of the dialog. QUERY requires a
matching ENDQUERY command. QUERYOK allows the script to act
differently depending on whether the QUERY dialog was exited by
tapping ‘OK’, or by pressing Esc. E.g.
QUERY “Enter details”
“Username:” , myname$
“City” , city$
“Password” , pass$
ENDQUERY
IF QUERY OK THEN
GOTO logon
ELSE
GOTO cancelled
ENDIF
jumps to the ‘logon’ label if ‘OK’ is pressed, but the ‘cancelled’ label if
the QUERY dialog is exited using Esc.

RENAME RENAME <filename>,<filename>
Renames the file indicated in the first string expression to the name
specified in the second. E.g.
RENAME “C:\Documents\Names”,“Names2”
R
EPEAT REPEAT
U
NTIL <command>
UNTIL <expression>
Repeats a command until a certain condition is met. E.g.
SET a=5
REPEAT
SEND “<013>”
a=a-1
UNTIL a=0
Sends carriage returns and deducts 1 from the value of a until the value of a
reaches 0.
Note: The important difference between REPEAT…UNTIL loops and
WHILE…DO…ENDWHILE loops is that REPEAT…UNTIL always
executes the specified action at least once, and ceases to do so when a
condition is met. By contrast, WHILE…DO…ENDWHILE checks for a
condition before ever carrying out an action, so if the condition is not met,
the action will not be executed at all.
R
ESET RESET
Returns all communications settings back to their standard values. You
may want to use this before a SETUP command, so that you can be sure of
the complete configuration. E.g.
