Script Commands The script commands are listed below in alphabetical order. If available, the menu choice or other function is provided to help you see what happens when you use a command. You will see a few examples of how these commands are actually used. It is good practice to start with a simple script, then build on it by adding more commands. Try to see if you can build a script that performs an entire communications session from dialup to hangup without requiring your intervention. For more information about running your scripts, see Using scripts" on page 343. Command Description Example : Any line beginning with a colon is treated as a label (although the colon is not actually part of the label). Use the GOTO command to jump to a label line. Labels can be in upper or lower case, but you must be consistent. If you have a label defined as :GoHere", you must refer to exactly the same way in GOTO statements (GOTO GoHere"). :JumpToThisLabel ABORT Communication goes to this special label when you click Stop in the Script Display window. The word ABORT" must be all uppercase. :ABORT BELL This command sounds a beep. Use this in your script to alert you of an activity that is taking place or one that has completed. BELL CLEAR This command clears the Script Display CLEAR window. Command Description Example COMM This command allows you to specify the baud rate, data bit value, parity setting, stop bit value, and duplex settings all on one line.This command is the equivalent of specifying Baud Rate, Data Bits, Parity, and Stop Bits in the Protocol dialog box and of specifying Duplex in the Terminal Options dialog box. For more information, see Choosing the Protocol Settings" and Choosing the Terminal Settings" in this chapter. For example, if you are using a 2400 baud line with eight data bits, no parity, and one stop bit, you would put this command in your script (put dashes between settings): COMM 2400-8-N-1-FULL DIAL  This command dials the phone number you specify after DIAL. The phone number must be enclosed in quotation marks. Use commas to make Communication pause in the dialing. For more information, see Dialing" in this chapter. To dial 9 (for an outside line), a pause, and then 555-1212, you would put the following line into your script: DIAL 9,555-1212" Using a Modem 345

Commands
The script commands are listed below in alphabetical order. If available,
the menu choice or other function is provided to help you see what
happens when you use a command.
You will see a few examples of how these commands are actually used. It
is good practice to start with a simple script, then build on it by adding
more commands. Try to see if you can build a script that performs an
entire communications session from dialup to hangup without requiring
your intervention. For more information about running your scripts, see
±Using scripts" on page 343.
Command
Description
Example
:<label>
Any line beginning with a colon is
treated as a label (although the colon is
not actually part of the label). Use the
GOTO command to jump to a label line.
Labels can be in upper or lower case,
but you must be consistent. If you have
a label defined as ±:GoHere", you must
refer to exactly the same way in GOTO
statements (±GOTO GoHere").
:
JumpToThisLabel
ABORT
Communication goes to this special label
when you click Stop in the Script
Display window. The word ±ABORT"
must be all uppercase.
:ABORT
BELL
This command sounds a beep. Use this
in your script to alert you of an activity
that is taking place or one that has
completed.
BELL
CLEAR
This command clears the Script Display
window.
CLEAR
Command
Description
Example
COMM
<baud-databits-parity-stopbit
s-duplex>
This command allows you to specify the
baud rate, data bit value, parity setting,
stop bit value, and duplex settings all on
one line.This command is the equivalent
of specifying Baud Rate, Data Bits,
Parity, and Stop Bits in the Protocol
dialog box and of specifying Duplex in
the Terminal Options dialog box. For
more information, see ±Choosing the
Protocol Settings" and ±Choosing the
Terminal Settings" in this chapter.
For example, if you are using a 2400
baud line with eight data bits, no parity,
and one stop bit, you would put this
command in your script (put dashes
betweensettings):
COMM 2400-8-N-1-FULL
DIAL ±<number>±
This command dials the phone number
you specify after DIAL. The phone
number must be enclosed in quotation
marks. Use commas to make
Communication pause in the dialing. For
more information, see ±Dialing" in this
chapter.
To dial 9 (for an outside line), a pause,
and then 555-1212, you would put the
following line into your script:
DIAL ±9,555-1212"
