18 Script language

 The script language provides an alternative method of calling a
 system (instead of calling it directly with the telephone number
 listed in your nodelist). A script file is used where you have to, or
 prefer to, connect to another system indirectly. Ie. you will not be
 calling it by dialing its number directly. This could be through X.25
 or PC Pursuit.

 The script file must be a plain vanilla ASCII file. A semicolon (;)
 may be used as a comment character, making FD ignore everything
 following the semicolon on the same line. FD is not case sensitive
 when interpreting the script file.

 The route file (ROUTE.FD) can be used to specify that a script should
 be used for one or more nodes by entering:

     SCRIPT <SCRIPT FILE> <LIST>

 (see Mail routing). The command may be global or local to a specific
 event's schedule block. If you are using PC Pursuit, you can use a
 generic script file for all "PC Pursuitable" nodes. See PCP SCRIPTS.
