- Please copy the req.library to your libs: directory.
-
- Start up option:
-
- pmdcom - program will open window on custom screen.
-
- pmdcom w - program opens window on workbench screen.
-
- If the rexxport could not be opened, it will say 'rexxport not active'.
- On startup, the program tries to run the arexx script 'init.pmd'.
- Of course, if rexx is not active, no init file is run and you can't
- use the macros.
-
- The name of the rexxport is 'pmdcom'. The file extension for macros is 'pmd'.
- Notice the 'macro' menu. You can launch 10 arexx macro's from here.
- Also, you may redefine the text and macros associated with each item.
- Here is a list of commands the port will respond to:
-
-
- quitcom - end program
-
- send - send text to serial port. ^M sends return. ^C sends control-c etc.
- ex. send 'ATDT1234567^M'
- download - download file. supply a filename.
- upload " "
- echo - print text in window
- getstr - pop getstr requester with prompt.
- ex. getstr hello
- say result
- macro - set macro menu.
- ex. macro 1 dial dial
- now item 1 of the macro menu says 'dial' and it runs dial.pmd
-
- protocol - set protocol.
- ex. protocol xprzmodem.library TN,AY,SN,RN, etc.
-
- setserial - set serial port : setserial 2400 1
- sets serial port to 2400,8,n,1
- the second number corresponds to the menu item 'set'(1-4)
- capon - turn on capture,supply a file name
- capoff
- waitstr - wait for string to arrive on serial port,with timeout
- ex. waitstr 1200 60
- wait for the string '1200', or return error after 60 seconds.
- pause - pause for specified seconds.
-
- Please also note that xpr_setserial is not implemented, so you must have
- the program set to 8,n,1 or the protocol will fail. Also, a previous
- version of this program had a bug that would usally blow up the machine
- if you tried to abort a transfer.I cleaned up that mess and some other stuff.
- Whene I learn how to program, maybe I won't make those mistakes.
- If anyone wants the C source for this,leave me a message.
