{C}MAC.DOC
This .DOC file and the {c}READ.ME file should give you enough
information to run the COMMO.MAC file included. I will assume that you
are somewhat familiar with {COMMO} and have read the manual.
You will note that the COMMO.MAC file is divided into 9 sections. I
will explain each section in turn.

█ SECTION 1: PROTOCOLS █
█▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█
This section contains all the external protocols that I use. To use
them you must have DSZ.COM, PUMA.EXE, CLINK.EXE, and ZMAX.EXE in your
COMMO directory. They may be activated by pressing Alt-M, moving the
selector bar to the proper line and pressing enter. The may also be
activated by pressing the function key assigned. See SECTION 2:
FUNCTION KEY ASSIGNMENTS.
Note that Zmodem and Puma downloads are automatic if you have your
COMMO.CFG file setup properly.

===============================================================================
Macros for Shifted Function Keys
===============================================================================
{sf1} .REP upload mark and dial.
This macro looks in your upload directory and determines which
.REP packets are present. It will mark those BBSs and start
the dialing sequence. Only uploads will be made.
{sf2} Dial only those BBSs which are already marked and download
mail. If .REP packets are present they will be uploaded
prior to mail download.
{sf3} Dial only those BBSs which are already marked and upload .REP
packets.
{sf4} Mail mark and Dial.
Mark all the BBSs that you receive net mail from and start
the dial sequence. Uploads will be made first if they are
present.
{sf5} Deletes all "flag files".
These macros use dummy files in your COMMO directory to act
as "flags." This is normally run automatically at the start
of all operations that use them. I use it here mostly for
program development.
{sf6} Time mark. (Requires 4dos) Places a time and date mark in
capture file.
{sf7} List commo.use file.
Uses Berg's LIST.COM to show the Log file. (I have changed
the name to COMMO.USE.) You will note that I use LIST.COM
extensively. It is in a directory that is not in my path so
as not to be confused with the LIST function in 4DOS.
LIST.COM may be found on most any BBS as LISTXXXX.ZIP.(X's
indicate version number.)
{sf8} Scrollback.
Uses LIST.COM. You may prefer the internal scroll back in
{COMMO}. I find that LIST.COM gives me more options.
{sf9} Dir of reply packets.
Shows only the .REP packets in the ULDL directory.
{sf0} Dir of mail packets.
Shows only the .QWL packets in the ULDL directory.
============================================================================
Macros for Unshifted Function Keys
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
{nf1} Simple logon.
Replace FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME, and PASSWORD as required and
this will give you a manual logon for those BBSs that you do
not have a linked macro logon.
{nf2} Logon for Wildcat! BBSs.
{nf3} Calls SHEZ in ULDL dir.
(SHEZ is a shell for zip. It is very useful for viewing
zipped files.)
{nf4} Upload a .REP file. I use this primarily for program
development.
{nf5} Renames .QWK file (Uses 4DOS.)
{nf6} Call Wildcat Mail download.
{nf7} Quiet modem. This sends a string to the modem to silence the
dialing tones. (Useful late at night when your wife is
asleep.)
{nf8} Loud modem. Sets modem back to normal volume.
{nf9} Uses LIST.COM to view the COMMO.DOC file.
{nf0} Calls LIST.COM in the ULDL directory.
===========================================================================
Macros for Alt Function Keys
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
{af1} Ymodem batch download
{af2} Sealink download
{af3} Zmax download
{af4} Zmodem upload
{af5} Ymodem batch upload
{af6} Puma upload
{af7} Sealink upload
{af8} Zmax upload
{af9} Point and Shoot Zmodem Up/Load
(You must have already made a list with PNS. See PNS
Docs for details)
{af0} Online quoting macro. First select Reply on the BBS,
then press Alt-F10. This will pop you into the
backscroll buffer. You can then use Alt-I to save the
screen or screens you want to quote. Press ESC and you
will be in QEDIT. Edit the complete message and exit
normally from QEDIT. The message will be uploaded with
Ascii Up to the message base.
===========================================================================
Macros for Control Function Keys
===========================================================================
{cf1} Automatic file download mark and dial.
(Checks the ULDL dir for .GET files, marks those BBSs, dials
them and downloads the file list.)
{cf2} Automatic file download dial marked.
You mark the BBSs that you want to automatically download
files from, dials and downloads automatically.
{cf3} Calls BIMENU. (For BIMODEM transfers.)
{cf5} Delay for Mail run.
(All the delay routines must have the activation time set in
the macro itself. Just type Alt-M, scroll to the time you
want to set, press E, type in the time, press escape twice.
I like to start my mail macro at 3 pm, {15:00}, each day.
Once I have entered that time, all I have to do is press
Control-F5 in the morning and I have my mail when I return
from work.)
{cf6} Delay for Mail run and Automatic File Download.
{cf7} Delay for .REP upload and Automatic File Download.
