i started by recording scripts, that one was typed on the fly.. usually i perfer pause on the maint side instead of waitfor.. the screen does not always end back up at the . quick enough, the waitfor times out without a delimiter..
best way to get started is to record a few and edit them..
if you want to type a command during a script,,
waitfor
transmit "4 0 0 0^M"
waitfor "DES "
if i recorded that code but wanted to use it to do add's later on..
those there lines change to
waitfor "DES " forever, that stops the script from timing out, it waits for des while you paste or type the tn.. at times i use an excel, just paste the tn in.. adding mail to 6 phones etc.. script stops lets me paste the tn, stops again for the next tn... tab delimited is faster, and i use that when i have a dozen or more to change
