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.
The following autologin script files are included in the GEnie PC Aladdin
distribution:
CCVAN.SCR Autologin script for C&C VAN network users
DATAPAC.SCR Autologin script for DATAPAC users
DATEX-P.SCR Autologin script for Datex-P PDN users
SPRINT.SCR Autologin script for SprintNet users
SPRINTAK.SCR Autologin script for SprintNet users RESIDING IN ALASKA.
Before you can make use of a 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 3).
THIS STEP IS IMPORTANT!
11. Enter the phone number and make any other changes that may be
needed (such as modem reset string, dial command, etc.) in the
configuration section.
;Configuration
SETSTRING 1 "###-####" | Local SprintNet number
SETSTRING 2 "ATZ" | Modem reset
SETSTRING 3 "ATDT" | Dial command
SETSTRING 4 "2400" | Baud rate
12. 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.
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 9, add
the script number immediately after the /LS, i.e. "ALAD /LS4".
