Script 3 Script Main Menu v1.803
By Jim Lubin [J.LUBIN] 910425
updated 910803
*PLEASE NOTICE*
This script is formatted for 80-columns. DO NOT use Aladdin's
editor! It will reformat the script and make unusable. If you need
to edit the script, any ASCII editor will do. If you don't have
one, I suggest either QEDIT or VDE. QEDIT is $47 shareware. VDE is
free for personal use with a $30 optional registration. Look for
either QEDIT21A.xxx or VDE161.xxx, where "xxx" is the archive
format.
INSTALLATION:
1) Copy the file SMMENU.SCR into the same directory as Aladdin.
2) From the Aladdin main menu press F5. This brings up the
Aladdin user configuration page.
3) Change the name of the default script file to SMMENU.SCR, then
press ESCAPE to save the configuration. Script Main Menu will
appear as script 3 in the User Scripts menu box.
The script is set-up to save all files to DATA\ directory off from
the directory where Aladdin is located. Example: If Aladdin files
are in C:\ALADDIN\, files will be saved to C:\ALADDIN\DATA\. The
subdirectory DATA must exsist prior to running the script or
Aladdin will exit to DOS. If you wish to save the files to
another location, use an editor and setstring 9 to the
[drive:][path\].
If you do a text search for <=== you will find all the the things
which should/could be changed.
Executing the script will display the following:

Before you can use AutoVantage Online or Comp-U-Store OnLine, you
will need membership numbers. One way to optain a trial membership
is to run the script. When you are prompted to enter a membership
number the third time, type ENROLL. It will then give sign-up
information.
Before you can use Dow Jones News/Retrieval, you need to
initialized your account for access to Dow Jones News/Retrieval

initialize your account). Once initialized you can begin using the
service immediately.

To use To sign up, select item 3 from the VESTOR menu (Page 785).
You will be prompted for some information about yourself and a
credit card number.
Prior to using the Send GEnie Mail to FAX option, you may want to
enter your 5 most frequently used FAX addresses.
When running Automated options, the script will automatical get
Port information. This information is useful when you're having
problems online. GEnie Client Services and Feedback will often ask
for PORT information when you report problems.
If you want to use the "Retrieve Closing Quotes" option, you need
to enter you ticker symbols into the script.
To use the "Weather Forcast/Selected City" option, you need to
enter the city code for the city you want.
Final remarks...
That's about it. If you have trouble, tough luck, you get what you
pay for. Just joking :-]. Send me mail or post a message in the
Aladdin BB in category 5/Topic 20. I'll try to help. I you find it
useful, great! Enjoy it! If you are feeling generous, I could
always use a Gift of Time. :-)
