Thank you for using Cedar Island ASK.

USAGE NOTES:
1) CIASK
This displays a banner and then shows both the parent and the
master environments.
2) CIASK EnvironmentVariable
This displays any existing environment variable. If the
environment variable didnt previously exist, it will be
created.
Example: CIASK PATH
This lets you edit your path on-the-fly.
Example2: CIASK FOOBAR
This creates a new environment variable called FOOBAR and allows
you to edit it. You may access this environment variable from
within your batch files by surrounding it with per-cent signs.
3) CIASK PromptString EnvironmentVariable
This displays a prompt then edits an existing environment variable.
If the environment variable didnt previously exist, it will be

all of the major filetransfer protocols including Zmodem Xmodem

Mouse-based but works easily even without a mouse.
Its main feature is that it is easy to install and operate for
less experienced modem users but has the power and speed for
the active BBS'er. A unique feature is its "Mouse Pass-Through"

and have that character (or string) be sent back to the BBS.
This feature makes any BBS or host look like it has mouse support.
