- PREFACE TO VERSION 2.1
-
-
-
- Changes to version 2.0 and 2.1 are summarized in the accompanying file
- PRCM21.NEW. This manual has been updated to reflect the current status
- of the product. One change worth noting here is the creation of a new
- parameter and keyboard macro file structure. You may use all of your
- existing auxiliary files with the exception of the .PRM and .KEY files
- which must be created fresh. The .PRM file from 2.0 may not be used with
- 2.1.
-
- For version 2.0 we have switched to the Microsoft C compiler, version
- 3.0. We are very pleased with the compiler, and recommend it over the
- several we have used.

- is based on the ideas that:
-
-
- The value and utility of software is best assessed by the user on
- his or her own system. Only after using a program can one really
- determine whether it serves personal applications, needs and
- tastes.
-
- The creation of independent personal computer software can and

- INTRODUCTION
-
-
-
- ProComm is a general purpose communications program with a wealth of
- features. It was written mainly in 'C' with some assembler routines for
- optimum performance. We hope you enjoy using it as much as we enjoyed
- writing it.
-
-
-
- PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
-
-
- ProComm was designed to provide pleasant access to the kind of tasks we
- thought a communications program should offer. Included in its features
- are:
-
-
- The ability to emulate a number of popular terminals.
-
- A dialing directory containing one hundred entries.
-
- Auto redial facilities for connecting with hard to reach numbers.
-
- Several popular file transfer protocols including XMODEM, XMODEM
- CRC and Kermit.
-
- Command files to control automatic logon and unattended operation.
-
- A DOS gateway which allows you to execute DOS commands or other
- programs while you're still on-line.
-
- And a host of other goodies including keyboard macros, disk and
- printer logging and much much more.
-
-
-
- MACHINE REQUIREMENTS
-
-
- ProComm requires about 128K of available RAM to execute properly. That's
- 128K in addition to the operating system and any resident programs. It
- will run on an IBM PC, XT, AT or any close compatible such as the Compaq
- or Compaq Plus. It may be used with either a color, composite or
- monochrome display. Drop us a line if you use it on a computer we
- haven't listed.
-
- ProComm may have a number of files open at once so make sure that the
- FILES parameter in your CONFIG.SYS file is large enough. We suggest
- using FILES=10 or greater. Consult your DOS manual for a discussion of
- the CONFIG file.

-
-
-
-
-
- PROCOMM FILES
-
-
- ProComm creates and uses several files. They are:
-
-
- PROCOMM.PRM Default parameter file
-
- PROCOMM.DIR Dialing directory file
-
- PROCOMM.KEY Keyboard macro file
-
- PROCOMM.XLT Translate table file
-
-
- ProComm uses the environment variable PROCOMM= to tell it where to look
- for its files. It will first search the current directory for the needed
- file. If it is not there, ProComm will search the directory pointed to
- by PROCOMM=. If it is found in neither place, and needs to be created,
- it will be created in the directory pointed to by PROCOMM=. If the
- environment is not set, files will be created in the current directory.
-
- You may set this variable by issuing the DOS command:
-
- SET PROCOMM=pathname
-
- where 'path' is a fully qualified path name ending with a backslash. You
- may issue this command from either the command line or from a batch
- file. For instance, if you have the command SET PROCOMM=C:\COMM\PROCOMM\
- in your autoexec file, ProComm will know to look for its files in the
- C:\COMM\PROCOMM directory and you can use the program from anywhere on
- your system and have just one set of ProComm files.
-
- Clear the environment variable by saying:
-
- SET PROCOMM=
-
- Consult your DOS manual for more information on environment variables.

- PROGRAM FEATURES
-
-
-
-
-
-
- STARTING THE PROGRAM
-
-
- Begin a ProComm session by issuing the command:
-
- PROCOMM [/S] [/B] [/Ffilename] [/M]
-
- Command line switches may appear in any order, but must be separated by
- at least one blank.
-
- Including a '/S' on the command line suppresses all ProComm produced
- sound effects. It does not affect beeps (^G) coming from the remote
- computer, nor does it control the modem speaker. The %A script command
- (Alarm) overrides this setting. You can change the default sound setting
- using the setup (ALT-S) screen.
-
- The '/B' option may be used to run the program in black and white,
- useful for users with composite monitors. If the '/B' is omitted ProComm
- will automatically adjust itself for either color or monochrome
- operation. To make black and white operation the default, first begin a
- ProComm session using the '/B' option. Now save the current colors using
- the ALT-Z facility.
-
- Specify '/F' with a filename to execute a command file immediately upon
- program startup. Command files are described later in this chapter.
-
-
- When the program begins it displays the ProComm logo and copyright
- notice, and possibly the program information screen. This brief
- commercial occasionally presents itself the first few times you use the
- program. You can also display the information screen using the ALT-I
- command.
-
-
-
- TERMINAL MODE
-
-
- After the opening display and the initialization of the program, you are
- left in terminal mode. Most of your communicating will take place here.
- The bottom line of the screen is reserved for messages but the rest of
- the screen is open for use. Most ProComm features are called from
- terminal mode. They are usually executed from a window which leaves your
- original screen intact. Press F10 for a list of available commands. You
- may then select an option directly from the help screen.
-
-
-
-
- (C) 1985 PIL Software Systems -7- ProComm 2.1 Reference Manual
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- Terminal Emulations
-
-
- Most keyboard and screen functions will operate locally as you expect
- them to. What they do on the remote computer depends on which terminal
- emulation you are using. ProComm currently supports eight popular
- terminal configurations:
-
-
- - IBM 3101
- - DEC VT-100
- - DEC VT-52
- - Televideo 910/920
- - Televideo 925/950
- - Lear Siegler ADM-3/5
- - Heath/Zenith 19
- - ANSI-BBS
-
-
- To change the emulation in use, press CTRL-F7. A window showing the
- current terminal type will be displayed. Press the space bar to rotate
- through the available terminal choices. The type currently displayed in
- the window when you ESC back to terminal mode will become the active
- emulation for the current ProComm session. Save a terminal type between
- sessions by using the 'S' option before exiting the window.
-
- Consult appendix A for a list of the functions supported for each
- terminal.
-
-
-
- COMMUNICATION PARAMETERS
-
-
- ProComm supports a variety of communications configurations. You may
- select baud rate, the number of data and stop bits, parity and duplex.
- The program defaults to 300 baud operation, with 8 data bits, 1 stop
- bit, no parity and echo off (full duplex).
-
- Use the ALT-P command to review or change the active parameters. After
- opening the Communication Parameter window, ProComm displays the current
- settings. Enter a number from 1 to 12 to change to a predefined setting.
- Use the numbers 13 thru 19 to setup a customized configuration. Enter 20
- to select COM1 as your active port, or 21 to use COM2.
-
- Use the save option (22) to make the new configuration your default. If
- you change the parameter settings without saving them to disk, they will
- only be used for the current session.
-
- Press ESC to return to terminal mode. The new parameters are now in
- affect.

-
-
- SETUP SCREEN
-
-
- ProComm allows you to define many of your own power up defaults for
- system parameters. You can also change a setting temporarily, and go
- back to your defaults for the next session. To access the setup screen,
- press ALT-S. You will be presented with a screen containing the current
- defaults. To change a setting, enter the number of the parameter
- followed by a CR. Then make your change. To exit the setup screen, press
- ESC. You will be asked if you wish to save the setup to disk. If you
- reply yes, the current setting will become your power up default. If you
- reply no, the changes you have made will be in effect for only the
- current ProComm session. The following parameters are user definable:
-
- Modem init string
-
- This is the string sent to the modem every time you begin a ProComm
- session. It may be up to 46 characters in length, and may contain
- carriage returns or control characters using the '!' and '^' conventions
- described elsewhere. Pressing CR without entering any new text will
- clear out the current string. Pressing ESC will return you to the setup
- window without making any changes.
-
- Connect string
-
- This is the message your modem sends to ProComm to indicate that a
- connection has been achieved. It defaults to CONNECT. Note that this
- parameter must be set correctly (including case) for the redial (ALT-Q)
- feature to work.
-
- Modem busy string
-
- This is the message your modem sends to ProComm to indicate that the
- number you are calling is busy. Again, it must be an exact match,
- including case. Some modems do not support this feature. If yours does
- not, you may set this to null.
-
- Editor name
-
- This should be set to the name of an editor or list program you wish to
- use from within ProComm. The string should be the same as the DOS
- command line command you would use to call up that program. For
- instance, if you had a program called EDITOR.EXE that you wished to call
- form within ProComm, set this parameter to 'editor'. See below for more
- information on using the editor (ALT-A) feature.
-
- Line wrap
-
- The line wrap setting controls how lines greater than 80 characters are
- handled. If set on, those lines will wrap around and be displayed on the
- next line. With line wrap off, lines greater than 80 characters in
- length will be truncated.
-
- Screen write method
-
-
- (C) 1985 PIL Software Systems -9- ProComm 2.1 Reference Manual
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- ProComm can use one of two different methods to perform its screen
- writing. Normally you would use DIRECT screen writes for speed. In some
- cases, such as under multi-tasking operating systems, you might wish to
- go through the BIOS for screen writing.
-
- Translate table
-
- This setting controls whether or not translate table conversion is
- performed.
-
- Default log file
-
- Use this parameter to set the default name for the file to be used if
- file logging is in effect.
-
- Sound effects
-
- You may control ProComm produced sound effects with this parameter.
- Note: setting this off suppresses only ProComm sound effects. Noises
- produced by the host or the modem are not affected.
-
- Default screen dump file
-
- Use to control the name of the file screen dumps are appended to.
-
- Alarm time
-
- Set this to the time (in seconds) that you wish the alarm to sound. For
- instance, if you desire to have the file transfer alarm ring for two
- minutes, set this to 120.
-
- Carriage return translation
-
- Use this to set the power up default for carriage return translation. If
- it is set to CR, incoming carriage returns are left alone. If set to
- CR/LF, any carriage returns received from the remote will have a line
- feed appended to them. You can change this setting on the fly without
- affecting the default using the F9 command.
-
- Scrolling
-
- Normally this will always be set on. For some full screen applications
- you may need to inhibit screen scrolling.
-
- XMODEM timing
-
- Some remote systems, such as CompuServe, cannot handle the normal XMODEM
- error timings. For these systems, set into RELAXED mode to avoid file
- transfer aborts due to timing errors. In most cases this should be be
- set to NORMAL.
-
- Duplex
-
- Control the default duplex setting here.

-
-
- Kermit Parameters
-
- We have provided control over a number of Kermit file transfer
- parameters. This is not the place, however, to give a Kermit tutorial.
- If you do not know what these are, you should be OK to leave them as
- they are. Consult the system administrator for your remote if you have
- any questions regarding their Kermit installation.
-
-
-
- DIALING DIRECTORY
-
-
- The ProComm dialing directory automates most of your dialing tasks. The
- directory holds information for 100 of your most often called systems.
- The information includes the name and phone number, as well the
- communications parameters specific to that entry. Also included in the
- directory is a user definable modem command and up to four long distance
- codes that you can use with alternate long-distance services.
-
- Press ALT-D to access the dialing directory. A window is opened that
- displays pages of 10 entries at a time. The current modem command is
- displayed at the bottom left, and the active long distance codes are
- indicated to the right. Long distance codes are identified by the
- characters '+', '-', '@' and '#'. The modem command defaults to 'ATTD'.
-
- Use the PGUP and PGDN keys to display the previous or next page of
- entries. The up and down arrow keys will scroll the display one entry in
- either direction. The HOME key will position the display at the first
- page in the directory, while the END key will position you at the last
- page. Press ESC to exit the dialing directory.
-
-
-
-
- Revising the Dialing Directory
-
-
- When you first use the dialing directory most of the entries will be
- cleared to the default. The name and phone number fields will be filled
- with periods; the default baud rate is 1200, with no parity, 8 data
- bits, 1 stop bit and echo off (full duplex). To add an entry to the
- directory, or to change an existing entry, enter 'R' at the '==> '
- prompt. A window will appear asking for the entry to revise. To revise
- an entry type the number of the entry to revise (1-100). To revise the
- modem command enter 'M'; to revise a long distance code enter the long
- distance code identifier (-,+,@,#).
-
-
- Adding or revising an entry
-
- If you chose to revise an entry the current values for that entry are
- displayed. You are prompted first for the name. Enter up to 24
- characters. You can use the backspace and left arrow keys to edit your
-
-

-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- entry. Press CR when you are done. Pressing CR without making any
- changes will leave the current name intact. You will now be prompted for
- the phone number. Enter only the numbers you need; the number will be
- right justified on the page. Press CR when you are finished entering the
- number. The current baud rate is now displayed. Press any key (except
- ESC) to rotate through the available baud rates. Press CR to select the
- one you want. Use the same technique to select the parity, data bits,
- stop bits and echo. After specifying the echo you will be asked whether
- to save the entry to disk. Enter 'Y' to save your changes, 'N' to
- abandon. You may also abandon a revision at any point by pressing ESC.
- After saving an entry it is written to disk and the current page
- redisplayed. An entry need not be displayed to be revised.
-
-
- Revising the modem command
-
- If you specified 'M' to revise the modem command the current command is
- displayed. Enter a new command that is appropriate for your modem. You
- may imbed control characters in the command string by prefacing them
- with the character '^' (i.e. '^C' = CTRL-C). You can imbed carriage
- returns using the character '!' or the sequence '^M'. Use '^^' to
- indicate the character '^', and '!!' for '!'. (For example, a single
- exclamation point is interpreted as a CR. Two adjacent exclamation
- points are interpreted as as the character '!') Press RETURN when you
- are done entering the new command. Pressing RETURN as the first
- character of the string will clear the command to blanks. Now indicate
- if the new command should be saved to disk. If you enter 'Y' the new
- command is written to disk and will be used in future executions of
- ProComm. If you say 'N' the changes will remain for the current session
- only. To abandon the changes completely press ESC any time previous to
- answering the save prompt. Any changes you make are immediately
- reflected in the window.
-
- Adding or revising long distance codes
-
- Long distance codes are mainly used to access alternate long-distance
- services. Four long distance codes are provided; they are identified by
- the characters '-', '+', '@' and '#'. Press 'P' at the dialing directory
- prompt '==> ' or at the 'Entry to revise: ' prompt to display the
- current long distance codes. Press any key to remove the long distance
- code window.
-
- To revise a long distance code, enter the long distance code identifier
- when prompted for the entry to revise. The current string for that long
- distance code is displayed and you are asked for the new entry. Control
- characters and carriage returns are allowed in long distance codes by
- using the same conventions as in the modem command. Press RETURN to
- complete the long distance code revision. Pressing RETURN as the first
- character in the new string deletes that long distance code. As with the
- modem command, if you specify not to save the changes they will be in
- effect for the current session only. Press ESC to abandon long distance
- code changes completely.

-
- Deleting Entries
-
-
- You can use the 'D' command to delete entries from your dialing
- directory. A window will prompt for a range of entries to delete. Leave
- the second field blank to delete a single entry. You'll be asked to
- verify that you want the entries deleted before any action is taken.
-
-
-
- Making a Call
-
-
- To dial an entry in your dialing directory, simply type the entry's
- number at the '==> ' prompt. To dial with a long distance code, place
- the code's identifier before and/or after the number. For example, enter
- '14' to dial entry number 14. Enter '#37' to dial entry number 37
- preceded by the long distance code identified by '#'. Enter '34+' to
- dial entry number 34 followed by the '+' long distance code. ProComm
- will send the modem command, an optional long distance prefix, then the
- number and an optional long distance suffix to the modem. The parameters
- for the dialed entry become the current settings and remain after the
- call is complete.
-
- To dial a number not in your directory use the manual dialing command
- ('M'). Then enter the number you wish to dial. ProComm will send the
- dialing command plus the string you entered. A long distance code
- indicator may be used if it is the 1st or last character in the string.
-
-
-
- Printing the Directory
-
-
- ProComm lets you output your directory to a printer, disk file or any
- DOS device. Type 'L' at the '==> ' prompt and then specify where to send
- the file. Simply press RETURN to use the default of PRN (LPT1:). You can
- even output the directory to the COM port you are using to send a
- listing of your directory to the remote computer.
-
-
-
- AUTOMATIC REDIAL WITH CIRCULAR DIALING QUEUE
-
-
- Some remote systems can be very hard to reach. ProComm facilitates
- reaching them with its automatic redial feature. Press ALT-R to invoke
- the redial procedure. Now specify one or several entries separated by
- blanks. Entries may contain long distance codes. The program will
- continuously redial the numbers in the list until you are connected. If
- the redial time is exceeded, or ProComm senses the modem's busy string
- (specified in the setup screen), the program will proceed to dial the
- next number in the list. As each number is reached, it is removed from
- the circular queue.
-
-
- (C) 1985 PIL Software Systems -13- ProComm 2.1 Reference Manual
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- Pressing CR without specifying any entries will dial the numbers that
- were in the list the last time it was used.
-
- You can set the amount of time ProComm spends on each call by pressing
- the END key. Specify the new time to wait (5-100 seconds) and press
- RETURN. If you want the change to become permanent respond 'Y' to the
- 'save to disk' prompt. Press the space bar to start a new call, or ESC
- to abort the redial. The alarm will sound if you are connected during a
- redial.
-
-
-
- FILE TRANSFER
-
-
- The ability to transfer information makes a communications program a
- very powerful tool. ProComm gives you three choices for two-way
- information transfer via file transfer protocols. With them you can up-
- and download files from almost any system.
-
-
-
- ASCII File Transfer
-
-
- ASCII file transfer is the equivalent of typing information from one
- system to another. The ASCII characters are sent in a one-way stream
- with no handshaking or error checking performed. This method fine for
- some applications, but you are limited to text file transfer.
-
- To send a file using this method, press F5 and give the name of the file
- you wish to transfer. ProComm then asks for a pace count. Pacing is used
- to slow transmission to some remote computers. The pacing count is in
- clock ticks; on an IBM PC roughly 18 ticks make a second. ProComm will
- pause for the time specified after every line has been transmitted. For
- example, if you specify a pace count of 27, the program will pause for 1
- 1/2 seconds between every line of text sent. Press RETURN to transmit
- without pacing. The file will be displayed on your screen as it goes
- out; do not have the remote system echo it back as it is received.
-
- To receive files, first begin the transfer process on the remote.
- Proceed up to the point where it requests a character to start. Now
- press F6. ProComm will take care of sending the keystroke which begins
- the transfer. Press any key to stop receiving the file. The key you
- press to stop receiving is also sent to the remote. You can also use the
- file or print logging facilities described later in this chapter to
- capture ASCII text.
-
-
-
- XMODEM File Transfer
-
-
- XMODEM is a block-oriented error checking protocol released into the
-
-
- (C) 1985 PIL Software Systems -14- ProComm 2.1 Reference Manual
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- public domain by its creator Ward Christensen. It is very popular on
- electronic bulletin board systems. The protocol uses two-way
- communications and either a checksum or cyclic redundancy method for
- error checking. XMODEM can handle text or executable files with over 99%
- accuracy. ProComm supports and automatically adjusts for both the
- checksum and CRC variants. Note that XMODEM requires transfers to be
- performed with 8 data bit, 1 stop bit and no parity. If you attempt to
- begin an XMODEM transfer while set to other parameters, ProComm will
- automatically switch to N/8/1, returning you to your original parameters
- when the transfer is complete.
-
- Some systems, such as CompuServe, have trouble meeting the standard
- XMODEM timing sequences. You may set ProComm's XMODEM facility into a
- 'relaxed' mode, which has less critical timing, using the setup (ALT-S)
- screen. Most systems will work fine with XMODEM set to normal.
-
- Sending a file with XMODEM is very straight forward. First, begin the
- transfer procedure on the remote computer. Then press F1 and then
- specify the file to transfer. ProComm will open a window and display the
- transfer statistics as they proceed. If sound is turned on, an alarm
- will sound when the transfer is complete. You may adjust the length of
- time the alarm sounds using the setup screen.
-
- Receiving a file using XMODEM works the same way. Begin the transfer on
- the remote computer. Now press F2 and then enter the name of the file
- being received. If a file already exists with the same name as that
- being received, ProComm will overwrite the existing file. As with
- sending, ProComm displays the ongoing statistics and alerts you when the
- transfer is complete.
-
-
-
- Kermit File Transfer
-
-
- Kermit is a packet-oriented protocol developed at Columbia University
- that is available on many different computer systems. By using a
- technique called 8th-bit quoting, Kermit is able to transfer binary
- files between 7 and 8 bit systems. In some implementations, such as
- ProComm, Kermit supports multiple file transfers.
-
- Transferring files using Kermit is similar to using XMODEM. To send a
- file press F3, and then specify the name of the file to send. You can
- send multiple files with one command by using wildcard characters in the
- filename. For instance, to send all your C source files to the remote
- system, use a filename of '*.c'. ProComm will open a window and display
- transfer information as it occurs. If sound is, on an alarm will go off
- when the transfer is complete.
-
- Receiving files with Kermit is even easier. After initiating the
- transfer on the remote system, just press F4. Kermit gets the filenames
- from the sending systems. If you attempt to receive a file with the same
- name as an existing file, ProComm will replace the first character of
- the new filename with '$'.
-
-
- (C) 1985 PIL Software Systems -15- ProComm 2.1 Reference Manual
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- ProComm allows you to control a number of Kermit parameters through the
- setup screen. In addition, a few Kermit server commands are supported.
- Press ALT-K to access the Kermit server command menu. Available commands
- include Finish, Logout and Directory. Finish (1) will terminate the
- Kermit session and return you to the system level. Logout (2) will
- terminate Kermit and log you off the remote. The Remote Directory (3)
- command will return a listing of the files available on the other
- computer.
-
-
-
- TRANSLATE TABLE
-
-
- ProComm's translate table provides a means for you to strip or replace
- characters you receive from the remote. Press ALT-W to display the
- current translation settings. The table will indicate the whether
- translation is currently taking place, as well as showing you the
- current translation values for the ASCII characters 0-127. Press F2 to
- display translation values for characters 128-255. Pressing the keys F3
- and F4 will toggle the translation effect on or off. You may set the
- default condition using the setup screen. To change a translation value,
- enter the ASCII code to reset. Now enter the translated value (both in
- decimal). To strip an unwanted character, translate it to 0. Press F1 to
- save translation values between sessions. Press ESC to return to
- terminal mode.
-
-
-
- COMMAND FILES
-
-
- Command files are text files you create that contain ProComm commands.
- You can use command files to perform automatic logons, do unattended
- file transfers and many other tasks. Create a command file using your
- favorite word processor. You may use any valid filename; however,
- ProComm looks for files with an extension of .CMD when it lists
- available command files. Use the commands described below to perform
- your specific task. Be sure to test your command files thoroughly before
- using them for unattended communications.
-
- You can execute command files from within ProComm or as a command line
- option when you first invoke the program. If you specify them on the
- command line, using the '/F' option, they will be executed immediately
- upon program startup. Execute them inside the program by pressing
- CTRL-F5. You may then specify the command by file name, or chose from
- the scrolling window displayed.
-
- To chose from the scrolling window, position the highlighted bar on the
- name of the file you wish to execute and press enter. PGUP and PGDN will
- scroll the window one page in either direction. The cursor keys will
- scroll the window one entry in either direction. Pressing the HOME key
- will position you at the first page of available command files; pressing
- END will position you at the last.
-
-
- (C) 1985 PIL Software Systems -16- ProComm 2.1 Reference Manual
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- If you begin to enter a command file name at the prompt you may still
- scroll the window but you may not select a file for execution from the
- scrolling display. You can leave the .CMD extension off when executing
- command files explicitly by name.
-
- You can abort a command file by pressing ESC during its execution. The
- command file will abort when the current command has completed (this
- might take a few seconds). In some cases, such as while dialing or
- performing a file transfer, two ESCs are needed: one to abort the task
- in progress and a second to abort the command file.
-
- There is a special command file named PROFILE.CMD. ProComm will look for
- this file in the default drive first, and then in the drive pointed to
- by the PROCOMM= environment variable discussed above. If it is found, it
- will be executed immediately upon program startup. You can use the
- profile to do custom setup work like changing to a special directory,
- turning off the sound, changing communication parameters or overriding
- the default modem initialization string.
-
- Command file instructions all have the same general form. Each must
- begin with a percent sign ('%'), followed immediately by a 1 to 3
- character command and an optional double-quote enclosed argument.
- Commands may be in either upper or lower case. All other characters in
- the file are ignored and may be used as comments. We have provided
- several command files for accessing the popular information services.
- Look at these files for examples of correct command usage.
-
- ProComm currently supports the following commands:
-
- %A - Alarm
-
- This command will sound an alarm to alert you to some event. Set the
- alarm time from the setup screen. This command will override the current
- sound-on setting.
-
- %B"directory" - Change default directory
-
- This command will change the default directory or drive; See the section
- on the ALT-B command for more details.
-
- %C"ldcode number ldcode" - Call a number
-
- Use the call command to dial an entry in your dialing directory. Specify
- the number of the entry, optionally preceded and/or followed by a long
- distance code identifier, as the quoted argument. For example. the
- command '%C"#24"' will dial entry number 24 using the long distance code
- identified by '#'. This command uses the auto redial facility to place
- its calls; it will keep redialing until a connection is made. Use the
- '%R' command described below to change the redial wait delay.
-
- %D"command to execute" - DOS Command
-
- This feature allows you to execute a DOS command or other program from
- the command file. Enter the command, as it would appear on the DOS
-
-
- (C) 1985 PIL Software Systems -17- ProComm 2.1 Reference Manual
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- command line, between the quotes. For example, to go out to DOS and type
- a file to your printer use the command '%D"type filename > prn"'. This
- command requires three things: enough memory, the environment variable
- COMSPEC=, and COMMAND.COM in either the current directory or in the
- path. CAUTION: If you execute a program or command requiring user input
- be sure you are around to provide it, as the program will wait until you
- do.
-
- %Ex - Emulations, where x is 0,1,2,3,4,5,6 or 7
-
- Use this command to specify which terminal emulation is to be used.
-
- Use 0 for IBM 3101
- 1 for DEC VT-100
- 2 for Televideo 910/920
- 3 for Televideo 925/950
- 4 for DEC VT-52

-
- This handy feature will pause command file execution until the specified
- string is received from the remote system, at which point execution will
- continue. Strings must match exactly in all respects including case. To
- avoid deadlock situations there is a maximum wait time for any string.
- The default wait time is 30 seconds but may be changed using the '%P'
- command described below. If the delay time is exceeded without the
- string being found, execution will continue.

- Another useful feature provided by ProComm is keyboard macros. This
- facility allows you to assign character strings to each of the keys
- ALT-0 through ALT-9. The strings may be up to 24 characters in length,
- and may contain imbedded control codes and carriage returns. To send the
- string you've assigned, simply press the appropriate key.
-
- Access the keyboard macros by pressing ALT-M from terminal mode. A
- window will appear listing the current key assignments. To revise an
- assignment press 'R', and then the key to assign (ALT-0 through ALT-9).
- Now type the string you wish assigned to that key. Imbed control
- characters by prefacing them with '^'. Indicate carriage returns with a
- '!'. For instance, the macro string 'PASSWORD!^Z' will send the word
-
-
- (C) 1985 PIL Software Systems -22- ProComm 2.1 Reference Manual
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- 'PASSWORD' followed by a carriage return followed by CTRL-Z. To send the
- character '^' or '!' specify two of the characters in a row in the
- string. Respond 'Y' to the save prompt to make the assignment permanent;
- otherwise, it is discarded. Press ESC to return to terminal mode.
-
-
-
- DOS GATEWAY
-
-
- ProComm provides a gateway to DOS to allow you to execute DOS commands
- or other programs without ending the ProComm session - just press
- ALT-F10. (MultiLink users: press ALT-F9 and then ALT-F10) ProComm uses
- the COMSPEC environment variable to determine the name of the command
- processor to use. It also requires that the command processor
- (COMMAND.COM for DOS) be located in either the current default
- directory, or in a directory specified in the path. Enter 'EXIT' on the
- DOS command line when you wish to return to ProComm. CAUTION: executing
- other communications programs through the gateway will cause erratic
- results when you return to ProComm.
-
-
-
- EDITOR
-
-
- To call an editor, word processor or other program from within ProComm,
- press ALT-A. ProComm will attempt to find and load the program named in

-
-
-
- SETTING DISPLAY COLORS
-
-
- Many of the display and window colors can be set by the user. These are
- the help menu window, the communications parameter window, the status
- line, the communications screen (terminal mode), the file transfer
- windows, the keyboard macro window, and the dialing directory window.
-
- To set colors enter ALT-Z from terminal mode. A window will open with a
- list of window selections on the left and instructions on the right.
- Press the up or down arrow keys to choose a selection to change. Next,
- press the left or right arrow keys to choose which colors to change
- (background, foreground, or hi-lighted). Pressing the space bar will
- cycle between the possible colors. After you have set all the colors you
- desire, press ESC to exit. You will then be asked if you want to save
- the color changes to disk. If you save the changes to disk, they will
- remain until you change them again, otherwise they will remain only for
- the current session.
-
-
-

- you are working in. Just press ALT-B and give the name of the new
- directory or drive. All downloaded files are placed in the current
- default directory, as well as log files you create.
-
-
-
- DISPLAY ELAPSED TIME
-
-
- Pressing ALT-T will display the current time and date, as well as the
- elapsed time since the last call was made. Elapsed time is reset every
- time you make a call using the dialing directory, and when you make a
- connection using the redial facility.
-
-
-
- CLEAR SCREEN
-
-
- Press ALT-C to clear your screen and home the cursor. This is a local
- effect only.
-
-
-
- HANG-UP
-
-
- Press ALT-H to hang-up your modem. ProComm accomplishes this by dropping
- DTR to achieve an immediate disconnect. Your modem must monitor the DTR
- line for this to work. Users of Hayes external modems must have switch
- one in the open (up) position.
-
-
-
- TOGGLE DUPLEX
-
-
- ALT-E will toggle duplex between full and half. ProComm comes up with in
- half duplex. If characters you type appear twice you should set duplex
- to full. Likewise, if you type something that is not displayed try
- toggling duplex to half. A message is briefly displayed on the status
- line when you toggle this setting.

-
-
-
- TOGGLE CR - CR/LF
-
-
- The manner in which a carriage return is interpreted varies between
- different systems. ProComm can interpret them as a single CR or as a
- CR/LF (carriage return/line feed) combination. Use F9 to toggle the
- interpretation in use. The default is CR only. If text lines overwrite
- each other switch to CR/LF. If text appears double spaced use the CR
- setting. A message is briefly displayed when you toggle this option.
-
-
-
- BREAK
-
-
- Pressing CTRL-END will issue a break. This is a true break: a 350ms
- spacing condition on the line. Use the keyboard macro feature if you
- require a specific character be sent for the remote to realize a break.
-
-
-
- ENDING A PROCOMM SESSION
-
-
- When your communications work is finished, press ALT-X. You'll be asked
- to verify that you wish to leave. Enter 'N' to continue working or 'Y'
- to exit.

-
- Overview
-
-
- ProComm emulates a number of popular terminals. ProComm handles most of
- the standard features and many of the extended features of the terminals
- emulated. Functions of these terminals that are not emulated are still
- processed to insure that all control codes are handled properly.
-
- Due to the wide variety of protocol convertors on mainframe front-end
- processors, some keys may not function as expected. These emulations
- have been tested with the mainframe systems at the University of
- Missouri, Columbia and the University of California, Berkeley, as well
- as within private industry. If you encounter a problem, refer to the
- TRANSMITTED CODES column in the terminal emulation charts on the
- following pages to see if ProComm is sending the code your protocol
- convertor is expecting.
-
- If you encounter any errors in these emulations or have any questions,
- please let us know.

-
-
- This is the recommended emulation for use with bulletin board systems
- that use ANSI graphics. the ANSI-BBS mode processes the ANSI codes given
- in the DOS technical reference manual, and behaves in the same manner as
- the DOS ANSI.SYS device driver. (ProComm does not use the ANSI.SYS
- driver itself.) This emulation is similar to the VT-100 emulation, but
- the VT-100 emulation handles normal, bold, and reverse video in a

- %YT"filename" ASCII upload.
- %ZY Translate table on.
- %ZN Translate table off.
-
-
-
- All commands start with '%'. The command letter(s) must immediately
- follow the '%', and may be upper or lower case. All arguments must be
- enclosed in quotes (""), and must immediately follow the command
- letters. All other characters in the file are ignored, and may be used
- as comments. ProComm looks for an extension of .CMD when it lists
- available command files.
-
- When using the 'I' command, the strings must match exactly in case. Use
- the 'P' command to set the amount of time ProComm waits for the incoming
- character string to be found (default is 30).
-
- Strings to be transmitted ('T' command): use an '!' to indicate CR,
- ('!!' for the character '!'), '^' to indicate CTRL ('^C' = CTRL-C,'^[' =
- ESC) ('^^' for the character '^'). This same convention is used in the
- keyboard macros and the dialing command.

- Timed Execution Facility (TEF)
-
-
-
- The ProComm Timed Execution Facility is a stand alone program that
- allows execution of a ProComm command file at a predetermined time.
-
- TEF is started from the DOS prompt by typing the command: TEF
-
- TEF will prompt you for the name of a ProComm command file and the time
- to start its execution. TEF will wait until the specified time and then
- load and execute ProComm passing in the name of the command file.
-
- The time must be entered in military format. The hour must be 0-23 and
- the minutes must be 0-59. Pressing ESC at any time will abort TEF.
- Pressing F1 will allow you to change the command file and execution
- time. Pressing F2 will blank the screen. (Pressing any other key will
- turn the screen back on).

-
- Dialing Directory Conversion Utility
-
-
-
- ProComm is distributed with a dialing directory conversion program
- called CONVERT.EXE. Use CONVERT to change PC-TALK or QMODEM dialing
- directories to ProComm format. To execute, type: CONVERT on the DOS
- command line and then follow the prompts.
-
- NOTE: When converting QMODEM directories only the first 100 entries will
- be converted. In addition, the modem command will not be converted and
- will default to ATTD.

- Appendix E Answers to Questions
-
-
-
-
-
- Question:
-
- ALT-H doesn't work with my modem. What's wrong?
-
- Answer:
-
- ProComm attempts to hang up by dropping the DTR line to the modem. Your
- modem must monitor the DTR line for this to work. Users of Hayes
- external modems must have switch one in the open (up) position. Owners
- of the newer Hayes internals must have a jumper correctly set. Consult
- your modem manual for further details. If your configuration prevents
- the use of DTR in hanging up, you might be able to set up a keyboard
- macro to send the hangup string your modem needs.
-
-
- Question:
-
- When using the redial facility, or making a call from a command file,
- the program doesn't realize when I've made a connection.
-
- Answer:
-
- Make sure that ProComm's modem connect string is correctly defined for
- the message your modem returns for carrier detect. The ProComm default
- is "CONNECT".
-
-
- Question:
-
- I sometimes have trouble opening files for logging or downloading.
-
- Answer: You may need to increase the FILES= parameter in your CONFIG.SYS
- file. We suggest using at least FILES=15. Consult your DOS manual for
- more details.
-
-
- Question:
-
- I can't get the dialing directory to call using the long distance code
- I've put in the number.
-
- Answer: Specify the long distance code to be used when you make to call
- itself, not when you enter the number into the directory. For instance,
- say "#37" at the "==>" prompt to dial entry number 37 using the '#' long
- distance code. Entering a long distance code as part of the number will
- not work.
