I'm trying to write a script to answer a modem and send and receive
files. Pretty simple stuff. It will be running on a PC using Kermit95.
I'm pretty much just using the existing hostmode.ksc and hostmdm.ksc
and simplifying them a bit to get rid of the menus and just answer the
phone and connect. Then I want to ask for a username and password,
select a directory based on that, and send and receive files. I want
to be the host.
I am confused over a lot of stuff, but particularly ASK and INPUT. The
documentation says that ASK reads input from the keyboard and INPUT
appears to be used for remote sessions, so I guess I need to use
input. But that is looking for specific input, not just reading into a
variable. I guess I can examine the \vbuffer or whatever it is to see
what actually came in, but I think I'm missing something here.
Is there a timeout that works with ASK? Does ASK work with a serial
connection?
Any pointers greatly appreciated.
