═[ TPK Commands by Christopher KC6IKO @ GB7PLY + TPK Support Mailbox + ]═
═ Command Argument(s) ═══ Default ═════ Description ═
@How To Use the Message List Function. (ALT-L) (Compressed forwarding)

Well this is the feature that makes TPK the best program around if your local
BBS runs FBB 5.14d Software. Lets say you want to send a message to your local
BBS. To do this we would hit ALT-L Which gets us into the message lists.
We are asked if we want the lists of bulletins on your local BBS
Or MSG_PRIV Which is your personal messages.
We want to send a message so we hit return for MSG_PRIV

Now we are greeted with the MSG_PRIV Menu. This will be blank at first
unless you already have messages in here. On the bottom of the screen
we will see a menu of selections like this.

<Cancel><RxImm><RxDel><CBbs><Msg><RMsg><EMsg><KMsg><PMsg><Bul><File><Sel>...


I'll explain later what these stand for. Anyway We want to hit M for Message
which means send a Message.

We are now greeted with another screen thats asking us for a "Known BBS"
Hit return for your local BBS. This means the BBS that you will be sending
this message to for it to deliver.

Now you will be asked who is the message for. Here you put the callsign
of the station you want to send the message to. If here doesn't use your local
BBS then put his  callsign and his homebbs, like this G9AAA@GB7XXX
Then hit return and you will be asked for the type of the message. The
default P should do unless you want to send the message as a bulletin which
everyone can read.

Now you will be asked for the subject (title) of the message. Enter the
title here (under 40 characters)

Now you can enter your message. Don't worry about hitting return at the end
of each line. Just type on a TPK will automatically justify your text for
you (like a word-processor).

When you are finished save the message by hitting F2. Hit Escape once you
are back on the lists menu and then you are returned to the main command
mode. Hit Shift F4 (or type FORWARD EXECUTE) to forward the message to
your local BBS

Now what about receiving messages off your local BBS you say.
How can I get my local BBS to send me some bulletins in compressed
forwarding mode? Well Its simple Hit ALT-L to access the lists. Now
select your local BBS callsign rather than MSG_PRIV as we want to access
the bulletin lists of your local BBS. Once you have done that you will be
greeted with the same menu as you saw earlier with the command line like
the one below

<Cancel><RxImm><RxDel><CBbs><Msg><RMsg><EMsg><KMsg><PMsg><Bul><File><Sel>...

Now you might not have any lists if you haven't seen any FBB Beacons. In that
case you will have to wait until the BBS sends it next FBB beacon.
Then the list will start building up. However you might already have a big
list in that case all you have to do to select the bulletins you want to
read is hit return on that bulletin. Now you will see a diamond beside the
number meaning that this message is tagged. To untag a message hit return
again.
Once you have finished tagging the messages you want hit I (RxImm) Which
means request these messages immediately. TPK will then attempt to collect
these messages off the BBS. If it doesn't succedd on a few it will try
10 minutes later, or when you next hit Shift F4. (or FORWARD EXECUTE)

Once you have received these messages from the BBS. Hit ALT-L Again and
select your local BBS. The messages you have selected will then have a
R beside them rather than the diamond. Hit return on these messages to
read them

Hit PGUP and PGDN to scroll through the messages and the lists.

Here is the rest of the documentation for what each of the following command
in the ALT-L Menu stand for.

<Cancel><RxImm><RxDel><CBbs><Msg><RMsg><EMsg><KMsg><PMsg><Bul><File><Sel>

  <Cancel> (or <ESC> or <A>): returns you to the terminal mode of TPK.
  ALL SELECTIONS done during this consultation are then lost !

  <RxImm>: (or <I>) returns you to the terminal mode of TPK, and IMMEDIATELY
   executes the reception of previously selected messages.

  <RxDel>: (or <D>) returns you to the terminal mode of TPK, and the
  reception of previously selected messages will commence in the next
  forward cycle.

  <CBbs>: (or <C>) changes the BBS list.

  <Msg>: (or <M>) allows you to enter a message using the TPK editor.

  <RMsg>: (or <R>) reply to a message using the TPK editor. The callsign
  fields are filled in by TPK and the text of the original message is
  placed at the start of your reply, with each line displayed beginning with
  a ">".

  <EMsg>: (or <E>) edits a message with the TPK editor. The callsign
  fields and the text is copied from the original message into a new one
  which will be appended to your personal mail. The original message still
  exists and must be killed otherwise it will be forwarded.

  <KMsg>: (or <K>) deletes a message. It will be marked as status K and
  the file will be deleted from the disk. It cannot then be recovered!

  <PMsg>: (or <P>) copies a message to the printer.

  <Bul>: (or <B>) command which toggles the listing of either bulletins
  only, or both bulletins and private messages.

  <File>: (or <F>) appends the message text to a file. The default
  directory is the CAPTURE directory.

  <Sel>: (or <S>) messages selection. You can select messages in the list
  by the TO field and the FROM field and the @BBS field, by a text in the
  subject or a text in ALL the header line, by a DATE.

  On the line below the mouse buttons you have:
     - The callsign of the BBS.
     - Last Received: the number of the last message header received
       from this BBS
     - Last Listed: the number of the last message header consulted
     - NbMes: the total number of message headers in the list.

Hope you have fun with this feature. If you need any help just contact us
(G3KFN @ GB7PLY). Or Phone [phone].

@How to get help on using your local BBS
Simple. Just type C Now and select the file with your local BBS's callsign
You will now have the full help file for your local BBS

@ALArm     OFF/Callsign   OFF           Beeps when selected callsign is heard
Parametres:

    OFF        No Alarm - Does not beep at anyone hi.

    Callsign:  Will beep at the specified callsign when monitored.
               (ie ALArm G9AAA   will make TPK beep when it hears
                G9AAA on air. It however won't beep when it hears
                G9AAA-1 unless you put ALArm G9AAA-1
                But if you put ALArm G9AAA-* it will beep at G9AAA
                regardless of what SSID he/she uses.)

@At [Hour [Command]]                    Do a command at a certain time.
This command will allow you to run a script file or do a command at a
certain time. ie:-

AT 1600 EXE SCRIPT      - At 1600hrs it will run the command EXE SCRIPT
                          Which will execute the script file called SCRIPT

AT 100 EXE SCRIPT       - At 0100hrs it will run the command EXE SCRIPT
                          Which will execute the script file called SCRIPT

AT 1655 EXE SCRIPT      - At 1655hrs it will run the command EXE SCRIPT
                          Which will execute the script file called SCRIPT

AT %HEURE%+15


If you want to run script files in more than 24hrs time then you will have
to enter the command in a dummy file. Ie it is the 17th of January. You wish
a script file to be activated on the 19th of January. To do this is fairly
simple. Create a file called DUMMY1 for example. In DUMMY1 put

AT 2300 EXE DUMMY2

Now in DUMMY2 put

AT 1700 EXE SCRIPT.FIL (Or whatever command you want to do, and at whatever
the time)

Now type into TPK on the command prompt the following

AT 2300 EXE DUMMY1


Now when it is 2300 you will execute the file DUMMY1, Which will execute the
file DUMMY2 at 2300hrs the next day. Then at 2300hrs in two days time TPK
will execute the file SCRIPT or whatever command you put in DUMMY2.

@ATTente Seconds [Text]                 Wait for specified time or text
This command is mainly used for Script files. It is used to wait for
certain prompts from the BBS before continuing, or it can be used to
wait a specified amount of seconds before continuing on. Or both.

   - "CNX"  : Wait for connection before continuing
   - "DCNX" : Wait for disconnection before continuing
   - Text   : waiting for the receipt of the string Text at the
              END of a line.

   - "Text" : waiting  for  the  receipt  of the  string  Text
              ANYWHERE in a line.

     Note: You cannot wait for a text in the disconnected mode.

   - PASSWORD : waiting for a password question.

Examples:

"ATT 180 cnx"    Waits for a connection before continuing. If the time
                 exceeds 180 seconds (3 minutes) TPK will terminate the
                 script file.

"ATT 60 >"       Waits for a BBS Prompt ( > ) before continuing. If the
                 time exceeds 60 seconds and it still hasn't received a
                 prompt. TPK will terminate the script file.


"ATT 10"         Waits 10 Seconds and then goes on (useful for a pause)

@BELL [ON|OFF]            OFF           If on Converts Control G Bells to note
Do you hate it when people send you loads of Control G's and your computer
beeps like mad? Well put up with this no more. If you have BELL OFF the
places where the other station has inserted control G's will be displayed
as a musical note on your screen and you don't have to put up with the beeps
ALT-B Can also toggle the BELL on and off.


@BRoadcast                              Used in conjunction with FBB Lists.
The broadcast command is used in conjunction with the FBB Lists that GB7PLY
Sends out. It tells TPK what mail you wish to capture. From what BBS etc.

Here are some examples.

BR GB7PLY U GB7PLY V ROBO2

Above line shows unproto path to GB7PLY is via ROBO2 (Digipeating)
Take out the V ROBO2 if your path is direct
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
BR GB7PLY C GB7PLY

Above line shows that to path to GB7PLY is direct
put BR GB7PLY C GB7PLY V ROBO2 to go via digipeat via the ROBO2 for example
or type BR GB7PLY C ROBO2 ^MATT 60 CNX ^MC GB7PLY ^M to connect to GB7PLY
using the ROBO2 Node.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
BR RXMSG PRIV

This tells TPK to grab any mail it sees for you on the BBS.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
BR RXMSG BBS AMSAT

This tells TPK to grab any mail addressed @ AMSAT (ie to KEPS@AMSAT)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
BR RXMSG FROM GB7PLY

This tells TPK to grab any mail from GB7PLY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
BR RXMSG TO DEBATE

This tells TPK to grab any mail addressed to DEBATE (ie to DEBATE@GBR)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
BR GB7PLY E DAYS 3

This tells TPK to delete any messages in your list that are over 3 days old
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
BR GB7PLY SY

This tells TPK to re-synch its Mail lists with the BBS. For example your
last number in your list is 50777, But suddenly you receive 50779 from the
BBS into your list. typing BR GB7PLY SY will ask the BBS to send you the
header for all messages in between the last one you received and the latest
one just in (in this case between 50777 and 50779).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
BR GB7PLY E K

This command will kill any messages you have marked for killing in your
list.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
BR GB7PLY E DATE 921217

Will erase all messages on a certain date (I Think!). Format for date is
Year, Month and Day
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
BR GB7PLY

Will give you information as to what path you have specified to get to GB7PLY
and what messages you wish to receive etc.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
BR RXMSG 7PLUS DECODE

Will extract any 7PLUS Files in your list and Decode them. Leaving out the
DECODE in this line will just extract 7PLUS Files.

@BUFFER [nnnn]            1500          Buffer number of lines to store.

This command is used to alter your buffer. I Think it means the number of
scroll back lines. Increaing the buffer will take more memory,
Decreasing the Buffer gives you more memory.

@CHat x                   20            Changes number of lines for RX.

The CHAT Command will change the number of lines that you will have on
your screen for incoming text. The number must range from 13 to 21. If you
type CHAT 21 you will have 21 lines for RX and about 1 line for TX.
The Default should be about right.

@COMment file                           Enter a comment for a file on drive.
This command is used to add comments to files of your choice. For example
if we type

COM C:\TPK\FILES\MYFILE.EXE

TPK Will ask us for a description. We can type

This is my latest program.

What this does is when any one is connected to you and types /DIRC
They will get a description for the files in the directory that they
specify ie /DIRC C:\TPK\FILES

@COU [n]                  75            Number of columns for word-wrap

The COU Command defines the number of columns on the screen before it will
word wrap to a new line. You can word-wrap anywhere from 40 to 79

It only word-wraps outgoing text, not incoming.

@ECHOTpk Text                           DOS Echo command. Echo's text on scr.
This command is very simular to the DOS ECHO Command. It will echo what
you put in on the screen. Useful for script files. Like this.

ECHOTpk Now connecting to GB7PLY
(Script file here)
ECHOTpk Connection made.

@EDITOR x:\path\editor.exe              Set the external editor

Initialises  the  editor which  can be called from  the  message
editor.  You must give the full path to this programme, TPK will
test its presence.

Ex: EDITOR C:\UTIL\Q.EXE

@EFAt Hour                              Erase commands to take place on hour
EFA is used to erase any script files or commands that are to execute on the
hour you specify. Just type EFA 1800 to erase/cancel all commands that are
to be executed at 1800hrs

@EFLogrx                                Erase stations in the log.
I Think this command erases the stations in the LOG.

@EFMacro macro                          Erase a macro
This command is used to erase Macro's that you have defined.

@EMacro Macro                           Edit a Macro
This command is used to Edit a macro. For example we have a macro which
is BBS. if we type EM BBS we can edit the macro BBS. Which is connect
to GB7PLY (C GB7PLY) Now we might want to change this to connect
via ROBO2. Well I have already prepared a script file to do this called
ROBO2.PLY so all we would need to do is execute the script file ROBO2.PLY
So we would edit the macro and replace the C GB7PLY with EXE ROBO2.PLY ^M
(^M is needed as this is the symbol for a Carriage Return)


@EXecute Script file                    Execute a script file or commands
This command is used to execute script files or send a list of params
to the TNC.

Execution of the file:

Lets say we have a file called SCRIPT which is a script file to log on
to the BBS, List bulletins, Check for any mail and log off. (I Don't know
why you would want to do this as TPK can do this automatically itself)

Well when we look inside the file SCRIPT we find the following
(Note all lines beginning with a # are comments and are not used by TPK)
 # SCRIPT File to log onto GB7PLY, List Bulletins, Read my mail if
 # I have any and log off)
 C GB7PLY
 # Connect to the BBS
 ATT 180 CNX
 # Wait 180 Secs for a connection. If no luck after 180 secs then abort file.
 ATT 180 >
 # Wait 180 Secs for the BBS Prompt to Appear. Again if time exceeds abort.
 @S^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^HBULLS.PLY
 # Open a Log file (ALT-S Which is @S, Note @ is a ALT Character, ^ is a
 # Control Character). Then Backspace 8 times (Control H) Then enter
 # BULLS. What this does is change the default log file from
 # C:\TPK\CAPTURE\TEMP.TPK to C:\TPK\CAPTURE\BULLS.PLY
 L
 # L Command - List all bulletins since last log on.
 RN
 # RN Command - Read any new mail for me if there is any
 B
 # B Command - Log off BBS.


Now to EXECUTE This script file we would type EXE SCRIPT which will
run the script file straight away.

@FChat [n]                5             Number of lines for TX Display
This command alters the number of lines for your TX to be displayed. Can
be from 3 to 15.

@FEnetre  G9AAA-n         OFF/5         Monitor text from certain callsigns
This command can be used to monitor certain callsigns only, Monitor
any traffic TO them. FROM Them. Or even conversations I Think.
Here are a few Examples.

FE >G9AAA
This command will monitor any traffic TO G9AAA

FE G9AAA*
This command is used to monitor any traffic FROM G9AAA only when he uses
a digipeater. (I Think, Try it out!)

FE G9AAA>G9ZZZ
This command will monitor any traffic between G9AAA and G9ZZZ

FE 3
This alters the height of the special monitor window.

@FIN                                    Return to your Operating System
Typing this will exit TPK and return you to your operating system
Same as ALT-X

@FLux [0|1|2]             TPK.CFG       Alter CTS etc to the serial port.
This command is used to tell TPK to operate with DSR Connected only.
or CTS Only or both DSR and CTS. Normally just CTS (Param 1) is normal
for most cases.

0 = DSR Only
1 = CTS Only
2 = DSR + CTS

@FORward Parameter                      Forward to GB7PLY
This command can define a period in which you will automatically forward
to the BBS, for example every 30 minutes. To do this you would type

FOR I 30

FORward Execute
This command forwards to the BBS straight away if you have any mail
waiting to be sent or if you want some mail from the BBS.

FOR E

FORward List RX/TX
This command lists messages that you want from the BBS (RX) or that are
piled up to be sent to the BBS (TX)

FOR L RX
FOR L TX

@FREquency [xxxxxx]       144.650       Frequency to be marked in LOG.
This command modifys the frequency stated in the LOG File.

@FREquency 1|2 [xxxxxx]                 Switch Frequency/Define Frequency
If you have a two port TNC (Such as the KPC4 or the KAM) Then this command
is used to change between the ports. Here is a example of what you would
put in CONFIG.TPK To do this

STR $F1/$F2
STREAMEV ON
FRE 1 14Mhz
FRE 2 144650

Now whenever you type FRE 1 you will be on Port 1 (HF on KAM) or if
you type FRE 2 you will be on port 2 (VHF on KAM)

@G8BPQ [ON|OFF]           OFF (TPK.CFG) Used if you run a node.
Put this command on if you want to run TPK with a BPQ Node. Don't forget
to change TPK.CFG if you do.

@Init [n|File]                          Send commands in File or CONFIG-n.TPK
This command is used to initialise the TNC or TPK Commands. By itself it
will just reload the file CONFIG.TPK which is the standard configuration
file for TPK. Typing INIT 1 will send the commands that are stored in
CONFIG-1.TPK

Typing INIT PARAMS will send the parameters specified in the file PARAMS.

@INT14 [ON|OFF]           OFF (TPK.CFG) Decides if you wish to use INT14
This command decides wheater or not to use Bios Interupt 14 to talk to the
TNC (Needed if you run special COM Port drivers such as COMBIOS/MBBIOS)

Normally set to off as TPK has its own com port drivers.


@Justify [n]              75            Justify outgoing Text.
This command is used to justify your outgoing text on the screen.
Used as a word wrap. For example the default is 75 so if you type in TPK
at column 75 it will automatically word-wrap to the next line.

@LOG [ON|OFF]             ON            Turn on or off the LOG File
This command turns the Automatic logging of any connections on or
off.

@LOG

Display and edition of the LOGBOOK. The last  QSOs are displayed
and you can move into the file, search calls, print it, etc.

@LOG Date                 dd-mm-yy      Format of the LOGBOOK DATE

Modification  of the display format of the date in  the LOGBOOK.
The format is the same as the %DATE% variable.

Example : "LOG DATE mm/dd/yy"

@LOG Mode                 PK            Implicit trafic mode

Modification of the implicit traffic mode in the LOGBOOK.

Example : "LOG MODE Pack"

@LOG Power                25W           Implicit trafic power

Modification of the value of the power used.

Example : "LOG POWER 100W"

@LOG Time                 hhmm          Format of the LOGBOOK TIME

Modification of the  display format of the  time in the LOGBOOK.
The format is the same as the %TIME% variable.

Example : "LOG TIME hhmm am/pm"

@LOG Rst                  59            Implicit trafic report

Modification of the implicit report written in the LOGBOOK. This
value is used for the report sent and the report received.

Example : "LOG RST 55"

@LOG Prn @xxx@yyy@zzz@                  Init. string ofr the printer

Modification of the printer initialisation string.  This  string
is sent  at every printing  of  the LOGBOOK request. The printer
must print 124 characters on a line. So you must programme it to
do this.

The values must be  given  in decimal and separated by  the  "@"
character.

Example to set an EPSON printer in 15 cpi:

  "LOG PRN @27@64@27@103@"

@LOG ?                                  Display implicit LOGBOOK values

Displays the implicit values used for the LOGBOOK.

Example : "LOG ?"

@Macro [Macro]                          Run a Macro.
This command is used to run Macro's. For example we have a macro
already stored that connects to the BBS. Type M BBS will run this macro

@MCon [ON|OFF]            OFF           Enable monitoring while connected
This command is used to enable/disable monitoring while connected. If set
to on will allow you to monitor while connected.

@MEmorise macro command                 Create a Macro Command.
This command is used to enter MACRO Command for TPK To Store. For example
lets say we want a Macro that will Connect to GB7PLY Direct. Well if
we type MEM BBS C GB7PLY ^M it will store the C GB7PLY in a macro called
BBS. So to connect to GB7PLY now all we have to do is type M BBS
Note the ^M represents a Carriage return in Macro's.

@MODEDIR [1|2|3|4]        1             Change the display of /DIR Cmd.
This command is used to decide if you want your directory listings with
the /DIR Command to be displayed in 1 or 2 columns or if you want remote
users to get files with descriptions only (the /DIRC Command).

   ┌───────────┬────────────┬─────────────┐
   │ Parameter │ /DIR Local │ /DIR Remote │
   ├───────────┼────────────┼─────────────┤
   │     1     │ 1 column   │ 1 column    │
   │     2     │ 2 columns  │ 2 columns   │
   │     3     │ 1 column   │   /DIRC     │
   │     4     │ 2 columns  │   /DIRC     │
   └───────────┴────────────┴─────────────┘

@REPrise [ON|OFF]         ON            Allow automatic restart of YAPP xfer
This command is very useful for YAPP Transfers. It is set yto on and what
this means is any station capable of YAPP Version C (The BBS and other
TPK Stations for example) can restart the YAPP Transfer. For example
you were downloading a 100k file. You got to the 55k mark and suddenly
the link retried out. Well with other programs you would have to restart
the file from start. But with TPK you can continue from the mark you left
off (in this case the 55k mark).

@SHell [commands parametres]]           Shells to your operating system.
Used to SHELL To DOS for example. Except you can pass commands to TPK
for it to run when it shells to the operating system. Hitting the F3
Key will also shell you to DOS.

@SUpcr [ON|OFF]           ON            Delete CR's on the TNC2 Only
This will print CR's on the end of INFO Packets. IF set to off it takes them
out.

@SWap [<ON|OFF> [<PATH>|XMS|EMS]]       Swap the buffer to disk/memory

Swapping the receive buffer during a DOS SHELL.

Get more memory during a SHELL by  swapping the receiving buffer
to disk or to extended/expanded memory.

Examples:

-  SW ON E:\TMP

   To swap the buffer into the TMP directory of disc E:

-  SW ON XMS

   To swap the buffer into extended memory.

-  SW ON EMS

   To swap the buffer into expanded memory.

-  SW OFF

   To disable swaping.
