Frank,
Thanks a lot. Using what you gave me as a baseline I constructed this
script that works real well, and doesn't transfer extraneous
characters, although extreme timing issues could still thwart things.
define unix-getfile {
set input echo off
set input silence 5
set input timeout-action proceed
clear
output {stty -echo\13}
pause 3
clear
log session \%1
output {cat \%1;read junk\13}
set input echo on
input -1 {\4}
set input echo off
close session
output {\13stty echo\13}
pause 2
clear
}
By the way, is the only way to get characters read using INPUT into a
variable to use \v(input). And is there a way to use INPUT such that
you say "input all characters possible without a timeout until the
device buffer is empty"? In other words, "read until the device buffer
is empty"...
