  2. *                                                                        *
  3. *    This script demonstrates how to write a "dial by name" command.     *
  4. *    You can attach this script to a definable key using <ALT>K          *
  5. *    by entering this as the definition of that key:                     *
  6. *                                                                        *
  7. *         @G@/NAMEDIAL^M/                                                *
  8. *                                                                        *
  9. *    This allows you to dial systems by name rather than entry number    *
  10. *    simply hitting the defined key.                                     *
