Changing the Network preferences Non-ASCII Characters for Log-in Scripts The following information enables you to create custom log-in scripts that require non-ASCII characters. It is provided for advanced users who understand the use and requirements of such characters in a custom log-in script. Use of ^char You may use the caret ( ^ ) to transmit ASCII command characters. If you send ^char, and the ASCII value of character is between @ and _, then the character is automatically translated to a single-byte value between 0 and 31. For example, ^M is converted to a carriage return. If character is a value between A and Z, then the character sequence is translated to a single-byte value between 1 and 26. If character is any other value, then the character sequence is not subject to any special processing. For example, the string "Joe^M" transmits Joe, followed by a carriage return. Carriage return and line feed You may include carriage return and line feed commands as part of the log-in script, when they are entered in the following format. • : Sends or receives a carriage return • : Sends or receives a line feed For example, the string "waitfor Joe" waits to receive Joe followed by a carriage return and line feed from the remote computer before executing the next command in the script. Literal characters The backslash ( \ ) character defines that the next character is transmitted as a literal character, and is not subject to any special processing ordinarily associated with that character. Examples: • \^ : Includes a caret as part of the string • \< : Includes a < as part of the string • \ \ : Includes a backslash as part of the string Customizing your Sony CLIÉ™ handheld (Preferences) 95
