- Example script "Help" notes
- ---------------------------
-
- These instructions have kindly been created by Brett (G4NZK @ GB7TIC) to
- help you modify the example script "BBS_Script" in this directory. Drag the
- file to !Edit
-
- Instructions for setting up a comlink script to:
-
- Log on to your local BBS,
- send any outgoing mail,
- save a list of messages since you last logged on,
- read any messages of interest you previously marked,
- kill any messages you have previously marked,
- read any messages on topics you are interested in,
- log you off the BBS.
-
- Load the file BBS_Script into !Edit by dragging it to the !Edit icon.
- (Note that Function key F5 in !Edit will allow the caret to be placed on any
- particular line.)
-
- Alter the following lines....
-
- Line 1...... Insert your BBS. eg GB7TIC
- Line 4...... Insert your call and bbs
- Line 13-15.. You will need to find out what the prompt is from your bbs and insert
- it here. I have included 3 examples here. To use one you must remove
- the rem part of the line. Note that [13] indicates a carriage return
- and the |3 indicates that the prompt is made up of 3 characters
- including the CR. You can use # as a wildcard if your bbs does not
- always send the same prompt. eg GB7SUT - 1/A> or GB7SUT - 3/C>.
- Lines 18-21. Delete these lines if you not using a node to connect to your BBS
- Line 19..... Insert the call of your node
- Line 23..... This is the response of your node or tnc if the bbs is busy. Other
- responses will probably be Busy or Sorry
- Line 25..... This is the call of your BBS
- Line 26..... This is the response of your BBS, when you have connected. It will
- probably be your BBS prompt as in Line 13
- Line 35..... In this line are the topics you are interested in reading from your
- BBS
-
- Now save this file under a suitable name. eg the call of your BBS
- and try running it............
