Q) I have to dial though another system to get to GEnie, and I
don't have to send out the "HHH" to get the U#= login prompt.
How can I make Aladdin understand this so I can use it
automatically?
A) Aladdin has a facility called an "autologin script" which
allows you to replace Aladdin's internal login procedures with
a script.
Before you can use this script, you must add it to Aladdin. You only
need to do this once, and then the script will be available every
time you run Aladdin. Use the following procedure:
1. At Aladdin's Main Menu, on the bottom right-hand side of
the screen, you'll see a listing of scripts already
contained in Aladdin. The scripts will be numbered from 3
through 9.
2. Select a script number into which you will load this
script. If you have empty slots in the script listing, use
one of them. If all the slots already contain scripts,
you'll have to delete one of them before you can add this
one.
3. Jot down the script number you've selected so you don't
forget it.
4. Press F7 to enter Aladdin's script editor. The listing of
scripts will now be on the upper right of your screen.
5. If you need to delete an existing script to make room for
this one, press D. Then press the number of the script you
wish to delete. Aladdin will delete the script. (If you
don't need to delete an existing script, then skip this
step.)
6. To add the new script to Aladdin, press A. Aladdin will
place you into the script editing window and display a
"skeleton" new script.
7. Press CTRL-Y several times to delete all the text that's
displayed in the editing window.
8. Press CTRL-K (Aladdin will beep), then press R. A dialog
box will open requesting a file name. Type the name of
the required script, then press <ENTER>. Aladdin will read
the script file into the editor.
9. Press CTRL-PgUp to move to the beginning of the script.
10. Replace the "#" in the first line of the script with the
script number you'll be using (the number you jotted down
in step 5). THIS STEP IS IMPORTANT!
enter the phone number and make any other changes that may be
needed
;Configuration
SETSTRING 1 "###-####" | Local SprintNet number
SETSTRING 2 "ATZ" | Modem reset
SETSTRING 3 "ATDT" | Dial command
SETSTRING 4 "2400" | Baud rate
11. Now press <ESC> to save the script. When Aladdin finishes
saving the script, you'll be back at the script editor
menu. Press <ESC> again to return to the Aladdin's Main
Menu. The new script should now be listed in your list of
Aladdin scripts -- and it's ready to run!
To use this autologin script, just start Aladdin with the /LS#
switch, where # is replaced with the actual script number.
Example: ALADDIN /LS3 /MR or ALAD /CLOCK /LS4
The autologin facility is turned on by the /LS command line
argument. If you invoke Aladdin with "ALAD /LS", Aladdin will
use script 3 for the autologin process. If you're autologin
process is one of 4 through 7, add the script number
immediately after the /LS, i.e. "ALAD /LS4".
