ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2. TE/2 Pro! Overview ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

TE/2 Pro! is Oberon Software's new, object-oriented, Workplace Shell aware,
telecommunications program for OS/2 Warp.  TE/2 Pro!, based on the same
telecommunications engine, file transfer protocols, and terminal emulations as
Oberon's very successful, original TE/2, adds the desktop object behaviors and
drag and drop interfaces which OS/2 Warp users are used to while maintaining
the robustness and reliability of the original product.

In addition to long-standing TE/2 features such as robust,  high-speed
telecommunications support, seven terminal emulation modes, fast, reliable file
transfer protocols, and extensive REXX scripting capabilities, some of the new
features for TE/2 Pro! will include:

o Object Oriented User Interface.

   - Terminal sessions and dialing directories appear as objects. These objects
     use standard OS/2 notebook controls for their settings, may be opened in
     various views, dragged to the printer or shredder as OS/2 users would
     expect.
   - Dialing directory entries can be copied or moved easily between
     directories or dialed by simply dragging them to a terminal object.

o Support for multiple, simultaneous sessions.  One invocation of TE/2 Pro! can
  support a virtually unlimited number of terminal sessions.
o Terminal objects which do not compete for the same device may be active
  simultaneously.
o Asynch, TCP/IP, and Named Pipe support built in.
o Any terminal object may be set to access a modem port, a TCP/IP socket (if
  the user has TCP/IP installed), or a Named Pipe server.
o Multiwindow chat and scroll back.  Rather than the split-screen and/or
  "modal" ways of handling these features, TE/2 Pro! uses standard OS/2 windows
  which can be sized, moved, retained, or closed as the user desires.
o Of course, copy and paste via the OS/2 clipboard is available throughout.

Several important control codes which you will probably need are:

"^[" is an ESCape character
"^M" is a carriage return
"^J" is a line feed
"^I" is a TAB character
"^@" is a NUL (ASCII value 0)

To invoke a script from a function key, you should assign the key as such:


    !run <scriptname> [arguments]

Replace "<scripname>" with the name of script you wish to run.  Script
arguments are optional.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.7. Dial a number that is not in a Phone Book ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Simulators provided by some on-line services, multiuser real-time conferences
provided by some services and bulletin boards, and chatting with bulletin board
sysops if they offer a chat mode on their BBS.

To activate the "Remote Input Window":

o Press Alt+G or ...
o Click the right mouse button on the screen of an open session.  A popup menu
  will appear.

   Click on Options.
   Click on Remote Input Window.

When the Remote Input Window is active, anything you type into it will be
transmitted as though you had typed it into the TE/2 Pro! terminal window (with
some differences, noted below).  The regular terminal window is still active
while the Remote Input Window is displayed and it may be used as normal.

The Remote Input Window has its own popup menu that is activated by clicking
the right mouse button anywhere in its window.  The special features of the
Remote Input Window are:

o Buffered Input:

    If Buffered Input is active, no typed characters will be transmitted until
   you press ENTER.
    If Buffered Input is not active, typed characters are transmitted as you
   type them.

o The options submenu allows you to:

   Turn the scroll bars for this window on and off.
   Change the character font for this window.
   Change the size (rows and columns) for this window.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.11. Setup a Telnet Session ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

See the section Internet Addressing  To get up and running with a Telnet
session, however, all you need to do is:

 1. Create a new Terminal Session or modify an existing one.
 2. Open the Terminal Session's Settings notebook
 3. On the first page of the notebook:

   o Select the radio button labeled Socket (TCP/IP)
   o In the Device entry field, type telnet://<hostname> replacing <hostname>
     with the name or IP address of your telnet host.

 4. That's it!  Close the Settings Notebook and try it out.

Note:  If you would rather be asked for the telnet host name each time you open
the Terminal Object, enter telnet://? in the Device field.

Note:  When you select the Socket (TCP/IP) radio button, numerous items will
become disabled on the Device and Modem pages of this notebook.  Don't worry if
there seems to be contradicting or unwanted data in some of these fields.  TE/2
Pro will not use any of the commport related settings when attempting a socket
connection nor will it attempt to send the Modem Init String when the terminal
opens.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 6. Scripting ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

TE/2 Pro! scripts are all written using the REXX scripting language which is
built into OS/2.  This document is not intended to be a tutorial on the REXX
language.  For information on the REXX language, you can begin by reading the
online REXX document which comes with OS/2. This document is usually located in
the OS/2 "Information" folder. There are also many good books available which
cover the REXX language in detail.

Because of the extensible nature of REXX, you can use TE/2 Pro! REXX scripts in
conjuction with any of the REXX extension packages available:

o OS/2 includes a REXXUTIL package which provides OS/2 system and file
  services.
o Visual REXX tools, such as Hockware's VisPro REXX and Watcom's VXREXX give
  you the ability to create dialog boxes and other GUI features with your REXX
  programs and scripts.
o Communications Manager/2 provides a REXX extension package if you need to use
  HLLAPI to communicate with your host sessions.
o DB2/2 provides a REXX package for accessing its databases.
o REXX socket services and FTP services are available from IBM and others for
  use in REXX programs and scripts.
o And so on...

When TE/2 Pro! executes a REXX script, it acts as a subcommmand handler. That
is, any command which REXX doesn't recognize will be routed back into TE/2 Pro!
to be executed.  This documents will cover the subcommands which TE/2 Pro!
recognizes.

How to execute TE/2 Pro! scripts
Subcommand reference


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 6.1. How to execute TE/2 Pro scripts ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

In general, TE/2 Pro! scripts must reside in the current working directory.
That is, the directory in which the TE/2 Pro! executable is running.

Alternately, you may define an environment variable TPSCRIPTPATH which should
contain a semi-colon delimited list of directories in which TE/2 Pro! should
look for its scripts.  If no path is provided when you execute the script, TE/2
Pro! will always look in the current directory first and then in the
directories listed in TPSCRIPTPATH.

There are several ways to execute TE/2 Pro! scripts:

o Automatically when you dial a Phone Book entry

   Enter the script name in the "Script" field of the Phone Book entry.
   The script will be executed once a successful connection has been made to
   this site.

o Automatically when you open or close a Terminal Session

   Enter the script name(s) in the Terminal Settings Notebook on the
   Session->Scripts page.
   Scripts can be executed:

      - When the terminal starts, before the device has been opened.
      - When the terminal starts, after the device has been opened.
      - When the terminal closes, before the device is closed.
      - When the terminal closes, after the device is closed.

o Manually from a Terminal Session's popup menu

   - From the popup menu select File->Script->Run...
   - To re-run the last script, select File->Script->Repeat
   - To halt a running script, select File->Script->Halt
   - If you expect to run a particular script quite often during the current
     session, you may load it into memory by selecting File->Script->Load.
     This will save on disk access time on subsequent executions of the script.

Note:               If supplied, the REXX variable will be filled in with the
                    same value as the return code.  Since REXX treats return
                    values as signed integers, you will get negative results in
                    RC for 38,400 baud and greater.  Use this option for more
                    consistant results.

Note:               RCVCAPTURE TRUE ensures that all modem input will be held
                    until the script issues a RECEIVE statement. Receive
                    Capture mode MUST be turned off with RCVCAPTURE FALSE
                    explicitly!

Returns:            Always 0


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 6.2.19. RECEIVE ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Parameters:

   length    (Required) "nnn" or "CRnnn" where "nnn" is a number between 1 and
             255.  If "CR" is specified, the receive will terminate early if it
             encounters a carriage return character from the remote.
   timeout   (Required) Timeout value in seconds.  -1 specifies an infinite
             timeout.
   echo      (Optional) "ECHO" or "NOECHO".  If it is neither, the first
             character of the string specifes the character to echo.  If the
             parameter is omitted, defaults to NOECHO.
   prefix    (Optional) string (one word) which will be prefixed to the result
             if the result string is longer than zero characters.  Use this to
             overcome REXX's habit of modifying return strings which start with
             numeric values. Note that you must specify ECHO or NOECHO to use
             this parameter.

Note:               Filtering of backspaces from the remote occurs if 'length'
                    is greater than 1.

Returns:            Length or received string.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7. Internet Addressing ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

There are several options available to you for addressing hosts on the
Internet.  Full internet address is by far the most flexable but it also the
most confusing so discussion of that will be left until the bottom of this
page.

Note:  In every case, you must ensure that the radio button labeled Socket
(TCP/IP) on the first page of the Terminal Object's Settings Notebook is
checked ON in order for things to work correctly.

Note:  Everywhere below where the term hostname is used, you may substitute
either an Internet host name (i.e., bbs.os2bbs.com) or a dotted-quad IP
address.

Note:  If you place a question mark anywhere in the entry for the Device name
(in this case, the Internet Address), TE/2 Pro will ask you to type in the
completing information before opening the connection.  An example for using
this feature is given below.

Simple Internet Addressing

In almost every case, you will want to make this a Telnet connection. Certain
defaults have been added to make this easier for you.  If you have the Socket
(TCP/IP) button enabled, you may enter:

telnet://hostname

in the Device entry field.  When the Terminal Object is opened, TE/2 Pro will
check to see if you checked the Telnet Handshaking checkbox on the Terminal
pages and select it if it is not already selected.

Alternately, you may select the Socket (TCP/IP) button on the first page and
the Telnet Handshaking checkbox on the ANSI/VT subpage of the Terminal page.
If you do this, you may enter the Device as simply:

hostname

Note:  If you would like TE/2 Pro to ask you for the host name each time you
open the terminal object, make sure that both the radio button and checkbox
mentioned above are checked and enter only a single question mark in the Device
field.

Full Internet Addressing

To designate an arbitrary socket, the first seven characters of the Device
setting must be "AF_INET" (upper or lower case).  The very next character after
this flag is important in that it defines a delimiter which will be used in the
remainder of the Device designation.  It can be any character which does not
otherwise appear in your host or socket name.  A good choice would be the slash
("/") character.

Next is your host name or address.  This can be a standard internet address
(123.123.123.123) or a name as defined to your protocol installation (i.e., in
your HOSTS file or available from a Domain Nameserver).  This is followed by
the delimiter again.

Next is the socket designation which can be either a simple numeric value
(i.e., 23) or a "well known port" specification as defined in your SERVICES
file (i.e., telnet).  In the latter case, the port name must be followed by
another delimiter and the letters "tcp".

Several examples will hopefully make this seem less intimidating:

     1. AF_INET/server/2000

     2. AF_INET!30.96.92.1!login!tcp

     3. AF_INET,bbs.os2bbs.com,telnet,tcp

Notice that each uses a different delimiter character but each uses that
delimiter consistantly throughout.  #1 uses a slash, #2 uses an exclamation
point, and #3 uses a comma.  #1 and #3 connect to named servers whereas #2
specifies an internet address for the host.  #1 connects to a socket with a
hardcoded port number and #2 and #3 use "well know ports".
