We have a Call Logging program at work that incorporates a button called "MODEM".. When you click on it I imagine it calls procomm somehow like this.
"C:\Program Files\Symantec\Procomm Plus\PROGRAMS\PW5.EXE" Connect Manual Data 770-123-4567
Which works just fine....it dials up the number and works great...However my question is this...I can't seem to figure out a way to find out what that phone number being passed to Procomm is. I checked the Global System Variable S0 etc...but it's null. Is there a way in the script to read a phone number that is passed as part of the connect manal data # command line paramater?
 
I can't think of a way to do this, unless the script happens to be accessing an entry in a Connection Directory (is this a possibility?). There are a couple different system variables that could be used if the button dialed an entry in the Connection Directory, but nothing comparable for manual connections.
