- INTRODUCTION:
- ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
-
- Would you like to have logon scripts for all your favorite
- BBS's but can't seem to get the hang of all that SALT stuff?
-
- Now, you can have all those scripts without knowing the first
- thing about SALT or programing.
-
- RECORD is a recording mode for Telix. It "watches" you as you
- perform your logon. It notes what text is sent by the system
- you're connected to, and what your responses are. Using this
- information, it writes a script which will wait for the same
- prompts and send the same responses. You invoke RECORD as a
- "linked script", log onto the BBS, and RECORD will write the
- script FOR you! That's right, RECORD will write and compile your
- SALT script for you automatically!
-
- The script that RECORD writes will also put the name of the BBS
- and a clock on the status line if you have one configured in
- Telix. The status line will be restored when you lose carrier.
-
- RECORD will work with any Port and IRQ as long as Telix is
- working correctly with them.
-
- RECORD is a shareware product. It is not "freeware" or public
- domain. If you use RECORD, you are expected to pay for it just
- like any other program. In return for the $10 registration fee,
- you will receive a key to remove the exit screen and brand your
- name as registered in this AND any future versions.
-

- INSTALLATION:
- ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
-
- This documentation assumes a basic understanding of terms such as
- "Logon Script", "Linked Script" and "Dialing Directory". If these
- terms are unfamiliar to you, consult your Telix manual.
-
- RECORD.SLC and CS.EXE (the SALT compiler that came with Telix)
- should be kept in the directory you have defined as your Telix
- script directory. If you haven't defined a script directory,
- this will simply be your main Telix directory.
-
- Edit your dialing directory to include RECORD as the linked script
- for whatever entries you want a logon script created. (ALT-D, E)
-
- USING RECORD:
- ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
-
- Call one of the entries that has RECORD as it's linked script.
- RECORD will start running as soon as you are connected.
-
- Once connected to the BBS, simply go through the actions you wish
- to automate. Answer all prompts as usual (except as noted below).
-
- If you have a password defined in your dialing directory for
- that entry, you can just hit the F1 key at the password prompt
- and RECORD will send your password for you.
-
- If you are calling a BBS that asks you to enter one or two
- ESCAPES, hit the ESC key ONLY ONE time. The second escape will
- be sent for you automatically.
-
- When you are done with the steps you wish to automate, hit Alt-X
- to tell RECORD to stop recording.
-
- RECORD will then ask you to enter a name for your new script.
- If you want to keep the default name, just hit ENTER.
- If you do not want to save what you have just recorded, hit ESC.
-
- After entering the script name, RECORD will write and compile a
- script to do all the steps you have just recorded.
-
- You would then edit that dialing directory entry again to change
- it's linked script from RECORD to your new script name. (ALT-D, E)
-
- Next time you call that entry, your newly created script will
- automatically do all the actions you recorded.
