Script Files
A script file is a text file that contains special delimiters and character sequences
that can be understood by a modem as if you were performing them interactively.
When you include the name of a script file in your communication settings, the
script is executed as soon as a connection is established with a host.
For example a script for logging onto CompuServe might, in English, go something
like this: “Wait for CompuServe to answer the phone, say hello, and ask for the ID
number. Enter the ID number. Wait for CompuServe to ask for the password, then
enter the password. Wait for acknowledgment that access has been secured, go to
the HP 95LX Forum.”
But in the language and characters understood by Datacomm, the script would
look something like this:
ranma {ERt er ID: I<your ID number goes here> | {Enter
password: X<your password goes here> | GO HPSYSTEMS 14
