Vaild command line arguments for CHAT.EXE:
"prompt" causes beeps to be issued at the console and dots
at the remote until the console answers with any
keystroke. If it's and ESCape, we abort.
"noecho" sets a flag so that incoming chars from the
remote will NOT be echoed back
"local" sets flags so that remote chars are not echoed,
the activation message is NOT printed at the
remote, and incoming ANSI escape sequences are
filtered out.
"logfile" followed by a valid OS/2 filename will open that
file for append and write input and output to it
Note that invalid arguments are simply ignored. Arguments are not case
sensitive and cannot be abbreviated.
Examples:
chat local logfile session.log
chat prompt
LogiComm Script Files:
A sample script file CHAT.SCR is enclosed with this package, it is the
one I use to envoke chat during a GEnie RT discussion or similar
situation. It simply envokes CHAT.EXE nothing further, if you need
session logging, there is more work to do.
Host Mode:
I use CHAT.EXE in conjuction with LogiComm's host mode using the "prompt"
parameter. Note that "prompt" will sound the system beeper at the console
until it's answered with a keystroke, aborted with an ESCape, or it
times out (about 10 beeps (seconds)).
