The file SCRIPTS.ARC contains:

ALARM.CMD    ALARM is pop-up window script that sets the alarm tune from one
        of several selections.    It also demonstrates the steps to take
        to customize your own alarm.
BREAKOUT.CMD    BREAKOUT is a demonstration of the script language.  It plays
        a simple 'breakout' style game.  Paddle control is through the
        cursor keys or a mouse (if supported).
CIS.CMD     CIS is a simple script that dials the CIS service (you must
        set the dialing directory appropriately), and initiates
        connection.  [See note below on autologon.]
CONNECT.CMD    CONNECT is a simple script that puts COM-AND into auto-answer
        mode and awaits a call.  When a connection is made, the script
        adjusts the line speed appropriately.
DIALER.CMD    DIALER is a script performing multi-dialing.  Up to 10 dialing
        directory numbers may be specified.  The numbers are dialed
        one after another until a connection is made.  The list of
        numbers (less the one just connected) is saved for next use.
DIRECTOR.CMD    DIRECTORy is another demonstration of the script language.  It
        provides a paged display of files on a given drive:subdirectory
        with more information than Alt-F.
DSZDOWN.CMD    DSZDOWN is a script to use Chuck Forsberg's DSZ to download
        with YMODEM protocol.
DSZUP.CMD    DSZDOWN is a script to use Chuck Forsberg's DSZ to upload
        with YMODEM protocol.
GENIE.CMD    GENIE is a simple script that dials the GEnie service (you
        must set the dialing directory appropriately), and provides
        a masked password prompt. [See note below on autologon.]
KERDOWN.CMD    KERDOWN is a script to use Jan van der Eyjk's PCKERMIT to
        download files.
KERMSERV.CMD    KERMSERV is a script providing KERMIT server commands for
        systems (such as the SOURCE) where they're useful.  It
        implements SEND/RECEIVE/FINISH and LOGOUT.
KERUP.CMD    KERUP is a script to use Jan van der Eyjk's PCKERMIT to
        upload files.
LISTER.CMD    LISTER is a script to listing an ASCII file to the screen with
        pagination.  Paging (backward limit 20 pages), Home, End, and
        FIND <string> are supported.
PLINK.CMD    PLINK is a simple script that dials the PLINK service (you
        must set the dialing directory appropriately), and initiates
        connection.  [See note below on autologon.]
SETTIME.CMD    SETTIME dials the U.S. Naval Observatory, and sets the DOS
        clock with the correct time.  You must modify this script
        before use!  Read comments at the beginning of the script.
SOURCE.CMD    SOURCE is a simple script that dials the SOURCE service (you
        must set the dialing directory appropriately), and initiates
        connection.  [See note below on autologon.]
TELENET.CMD    TELENET is a simple script that dials TELENET and performs
        the basic connect commands.

Note: The CIS, GEnie, PLINK, and SOURCE script files all look for an autologon
script file. If found, the autologon is executed.  If not found, the ALARM is
sounded.  Each script looks for a certain file:

        CIS.CMD     looks for CISLOGON.CMD    (or .ENF)
        GEnie.CMD    looks for GENLOGON.CMD    (or .ENF)
        PLINK.CMD    looks for AHNLOGON.CMD    (or .ENF)
        SOURCE.CMD    looks for STC.CMD    (or .ENF)

With the exception of GENIE, the autologon file should take the form:

        TRANSMIT "yourID!"              ; The "!" is a carriage rtn
        WAITFOR "password"              ; Wait for host prompt
        TRANSMIT "yourPassword!"        ; The "!" is a carriage rtn

The GEnie autologon is just one TRANSMIT statement:

        TRANSMIT "ID,Password!"

The autologon script may be created with any editor or wordprocessor capable
of creating an ASCII file (or non-document file).  It is not recommended that
you leave files containing ID and passwords unsecured.    COM-AND may be used
to encrypt the autologon file once created and tested and the original file
then deleted.

COM-AND will search for script files both in the current directory and in the
subdirectory pointed to by the COM-AND= environment variable.  COM-AND will
also try the name you use with the extension ".CMD" and ".ENF".  Encryption
is indicated within the encrypted file - not by the extension.    When an
encrypted script file is encountered COM-AND will pop-up a window asking for
a decrypting password.    The script file is then decrypted as it is executed.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following steps might be followed to create an autologon script file.

1) Create the file as named above with the appropriate statements on the sub-
   directory you've placed COM-AND and its scripts.

2) Load COM-AND, and using F2, execute the outer script (CIS, GEnie, PLINK or
   SOURCE).  Assure yourself that the autologon script works correctly.

3) After logging off, use Alt-N in COM-AND to encrypt the script.  For
   example, the file CISLOGON.CMD could be encrypted to CISLOGON.ENF (the
   name is important - the extension is not).  Remember the password you used
   to encrypt the file!  Either encryption method may be used.

4) After exiting COM-AND (or shelling to DOS), delete the original autologon
   file (in the example above, delete be CISLOGON.CMD).
