- Baud Bandit terminal demo release
- by Greg Cunningham
-
- Copyright 1988 by
- Progressive Peripherals & Software.
-
- A soon to be commercial terminal program.
- This is the commercial name to be looking for!
-
-
- The first thing you'll notice is all of the nice cryptic items across the menu
- bar. These may be selected by clicking the menu button while the pointer is
- over the item.
-
- In order from left to right, I have them labeled with letters.
- Also right Amiga command sequences will work with some items, as noted.

- Entering the name in the string will not work.
-
- L. DownLoad Calls up what I hope to be a good immitation TxEd
- Amiga-D file requestor, like in the other terms.
- The arrows beside the devices will scroll showing whatever
- devices are currently active, including S: and C:.
- Enter the filename in the string on the bottom, and the directory
- (and PC-DOS/Amiga pattern if needed) in the string at the top.

- and the next time DN is selected, it will dial the next
- selected name.
-
- T. PhoneBook This will bring up the phonebook.
- Amiga-P this should be placed in the current 'S:' directory.

- Amiga-R parameters (see A. thru G.) accordingly.
-
- Example phonebook entry with offsets:
-
- | BBS Name | Phone Number |Baud|Setup|Script Pairs 20 Max (?=!)
- People Link 225-3444 2400 CCF8N1W (2400=\w\w\w\w\w@\w\r)
-
-
- The character '|' at the beginning of a line donotes a comment
- The character '-' at the beginning of a line donotes a seperator
-
- Script There is also an optional script set, placed after the setup.
- These work in pairs, and must be enclosed in parens '()',
- and must have a '=' dividing them.
-
- The first of a pair is the prompt, which must be one word,
- such as for 'Your name: ' you would use 'name:' as the prompt.
- Also this is case sensitive.
-
- The second is the string to send.
- Exaple: (Name:=Greg\r)
-
- BBS says: Name:
- Bandit says: Greg\r
-
- Here's one I use for BBS-PC
-
- ([RETURN]=\r^PMy Name\rPassword\r)
