Macro [PgDn for more, F1 for next topic]
─────
In addition to accepting standard alpha-numeric text, Telemate also
uses certain symbols which when passed through the phone lines
perform specific functions. For example, the character "^M" in a
macro translates as [Enter] on the other end. Below is a table of
symbols you can incorporate in your macros:
╒════════╤═════════════════╕ ╒════════╤═════════════════════╕
│ Symbol │ ASCII │ │ Symbol │ Function │
├────────┼─────────────────┤ ├────────┼─────────────────────┤
│ ^@ │ Null │ │ ~ │ Pause 0.5 second │
│ ^A │ Ctrl A │ │ ^# │ Drop DTR │
│ ... │ │ │ ^% │ Send break signal │
│ ^M │ Carriage Return │ │ ^$ │ Send memo │
│ ^J │ Line feed │ │ ^& │ Send password │
│ ... │ ... │ │ ^* │ Send hang up string │
│ ^Z │ Ctrl Z │ │ ^( │ Send init string │
│ ^[ │ Esc │ │ ^) │ Send answer string │
│ ^^ │ ^ │ │ ^= │ Execute command │
│ ^~ │ ~ │ │ ^\ │ Run script file │
╘════════╧═════════════════╛ ╘════════╧═════════════════════╛
If the symbol '^#' is included in the modem hangup string,
Telemate will drop the DTR to hang up. And the macro "^\HOST" will
run the script file HOST.SCR in the script directory.
The symbol '^=' will execute the followed command.
╒═════════════════════╤══════════════════════════════════════════╕
│ Example │ Description │
├─────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ ^=COPY │ Brings you to the DOS command window and │
│ (without ^M) │ prompt you for more information │
├─────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ ^=DIR *.SCR^M │ Shells to DOS and display all the *.SCR │
│ (with ^M) │ files, the '^M' enforce the execution of │
│ │ the command │
├─────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ ^=MLINK-D ^=^M │ Works exactly the same as an external │
│ (with another ^= │ protocol by passing baud rate and │

There are some options which require you to type in your choice. You
can use [Ins] to toggle the insert mode, [Ctrl Y] or [Ctrl Left] to
erase the whole field, [Alt P] to paste text from the clipboard, [Alt
C] to copy text to the clipboard and [Shift Alt C] to append text to
the clipboard.
DOS Command [PgDn for more, F1 for next topic]
───────────
This is a full screen DOS command function. Several DOS commands can
be executed without shelling to DOS and three commands are added.
If an external command or a program name is entered, Telemate will
shell to DOS, execute it and return as quick as possible. The screen
will be preserved and shown in the window.
This window also stores the last 10 commands. You can recall them by
pressing [Up] keys.

Terminal Command Stack [PgDn for more, F1 for next topic]
──────────────────────
The command stack provides a convenient way to recall the previously
entered command or prepare a short note. There are several usages.
╒════════════════╤═══════════════════════════════════════════════╕
│ Usage │ Description │
├────────────────┼───────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ Recall command │ It stores the previous commands which you │
│ │ typed in the terminal window such that you │
│ │ can recall it by pressing [Alt Y] [Up]. │
├────────────────┼───────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ Type-ahead │ Some systems are charged by connect time. │
│ │ While you are waiting for a command prompt, │
│ │ you could type the next command here and │
│ │ simply press [Enter] when the prompt appear. │
├────────────────┼───────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ Chat mode │ It allows you to type and edit the whole line │
│ │ before sending it to remote system. That │
│ │ means it is a line based chat mode. │
├────────────────┼───────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ Prepare short │ You could prepare a short multi-lines message │
│ note │ in this window. See the following example. │
╘════════════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════╛
For example, to write a three-lines note, you could type
[Ctrl Home]THIS IS THE FIRST LINE [Ctrl Enter]
THIS IS THE SECOND ONE [Ctrl Enter]
THIS IS THE LAST ONE [Ctrl Enter]
[Up] [Up] [Up] [Enter] [Enter] [Enter]
The [Ctrl Home] clears the window and let you start from the top. The
[Ctrl Enter] performs a line feed but does not send the line. To send
these lines, you could move the cursor to the first line and press
[Enter] three times.
COPY and PASTE functions are allowed in this window. The COPY [Alt C]
function copies the current line to the clipboard.
The PASTE [Alt P] function pastes the clipboard text to this window.
If there are more than one lines in the clipboard, text will be
inserted until the cursor reach the bottom of the window.
