- Most of the sample Basic programs have comments included which explain what
- they do and how they work. They are intended to help people learn how to
- program Storm Basic. I would appreciate receiving other Basic programs to
- include with Storm.
-
- CIS.BAS is an auto-logon for CompuServe.
- In the Dial Directory editor, create an entry for CompuServe
- Double-click on the name and select Auto-Logon in the popup menu.
- Enter the name CIS.BAS.
- Make sure CIS.BAS is in the directory you selected for Auto-Logon Path in the
- dial directory editor.
-
- Load CIS.BAS into Basic and run it. The first time you run the program, it will
- prompt you for your password and User ID. These will be stored in the STORM.INI
- file for subsequent use by the program when you log on to CompuServe. The
- password will be encrypted to stop it from being easily recognized and copied.
-
- Select "Save Preferences" from the "Settings" menu. This will allow you to save
- the changes to disk. (Make sure the "Save Preferences" button is selected in
- the dialog.)
-
- GENIE.BAS is very similar to CIS.BAS, except it is for the GEnie service.
- Create a directory for GEnie in the Dial Directory editor, double-click on the
- name and select Auto-Logon. Enter the name GENIE.BAS.
-
- Make sure GENIE.BAS is in the directory you selected for Auto-Logon Path in the
- dial directory editor.
-
- Follow the instructions above for CIS.BAS to run the program and record your
- user number and password.
-
- RECORDER.BAS is an experimental program to record prompts and responses. It
- begins by displaying the file selector to ask for a Basic filename to write out
- the automated logon to. Then it records your interaction with the remote
- system. To finish the recording, press Control-U.
- Then load the recording into Basic and edit it as required. The recording
- will consist of a set of SEND and WAIT statements.
-
- LISTBOX.BAS is an example of using a LISTBOX to choose from a fairly large set
- of choices.
-
- DIALSORT.BAS is a Basic program that will sort your STORM dial directory
- alphabetically.
