Fields
──────
Width
Sets the virtual terminal width. Most PC type BBSs will require 80 because
they might wrap lines. If you are connecting to a mini or mainframe you can
use 132 to view wide reports, etc.
Length
Sets the virtual terminal length. This will allow you to view full page
reports, 80 X 50 ANSI screens, etc. Using large lengths of 500+ may
effect terminal performance depending on PC and modem connect rate.
Draw
Sets maximum character buffering before drawing the terminal window. All in
coming characters are stored in the virtual buffer until the com buffer is
empty or the Draw value is reached. Used to increase terminal performance
using 14.4, 28.8 modems or slower type PCs.
Input
Sets com input buffer size.
Output
Sets com output buffer size.
CTS wait
Seconds to wait for CTS when opening terminal window. This will make sure
the modem can start accepting commands and data.
Dial prefix
Use your modem's dial string. Most modems will use ATDT for tone and ATDP
for pulse dialing. Also include any PBX type switching such as ATDT 9, to
dial 9 and wait before dialing number.
Wait
Seconds to wait for modem response after dialing.
Pause
Seconds to pause between redials.
Redial
Number of time to redial before failing.
Can chr
Character code for used to hang up (cancel character) during dial phase.
Re wait
Seconds to wait for response to non-dial commands.
DTR low
Seconds to hold DTR low during hang up.
Modem responses
───────────────
The following is a list of responses CyberTerm uses when waiting for
command responses:
OK OK
Error ERROR
Connect CONNECT
No carr NO CARRIER
No ans NO ANSWER
Busy BUSY
Voice VOICE
Ring RING
No tone NO DIALTONE
You can use numeric responses or other word strings as needed.
.topic ScriptCommands
Script commands ▄
▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
CyberScript (tm) is a powerful high level script language which allows the
automation of many on-line tasks.
Features:
Numeric variable types in addition to string type
Up to 16,000 variables
Up to 16,000 level deep call nesting
Basic math functions
Boolean functions and other flow control commands
Fast compile times (13000 lines a minute on a 386/33 in 16 bit DPMI).
Each line can consist of a blank, a comment (;), or a command. You can
also indent comments, commands and params.
The format for a comment is:
;This is a comment
The format for a command is:
COMMAND PARAMS
Examples:
String FirstName
Assign FirstName,'Steve'
WaitFor 'First Name:'
Send FirstName
CyberScript currently supports STRING, LONGINT and DOUBLE user definable
variable types. A variable must be declared prior to referencing it in your
script. The format for declaring a variable is:
String FirstName
LongInt MessageCount
Double SellPrice
Commands like WAITFOR and SEND can handle all variable types. For example
if you want to send a DOUBLE out the port use:
Assign SellPrice,50000.00
Assign Tax,5000.00
Add SellPrice,Tax
Send SellPrice
Will result in the string '55000.00' being sent out the port. Commands like
GETRESP only accept STRING and others like WAITFORSECS except only LONGINT.
Constants can used in place of variables for many commands:
Send #27
Can be used to send an escape character or other non-editable character.
Numeric constants can also be used:
Add MessageCount,1
Mul Tax,.05
