I am using a script to open a connection directory. The host responds with the commands to be used. Two of those commands are "HELP" and "DALL"
If I type HELP without a script it works well. "DALL" also gives me the required info like meter readinggs.
But using a script to transect "DALL^M^J" sends the first letter "D" correctly but remaining characters are entirely different and vary at different time. I tried using a variable string to store "DALL^M^J" as well as #define but still same problem persists.
I am absolutely a new user.
Can get some help please

Try sending the same string from a metakey. To do so, press Alt-M to get the Meta Key Editor. Click on the box with 6 in it at the top. Change the action for the first line to Text w/Echo, enter DALL or DALL^M^J, and click OK. Contact the system and press Alt-6.

If the text still comes out garbled, you may need to use transmit pacing so it goes a bit slower. To set this value, select the Options | System Options | System Options menu item in Procomm and enter 5 in the Transmit pacing (milliseconds) field.

 
Thanks Knob,
Initially transmit could send only one letter i.e. D ouft of total string "DALL" then I changed system option - pacing to 5 and then transmit could send "DA" I tried increasing this to 20 - sometimes it transmits "DAL" - I will continue trial and error with this. But one thing I noticed is that the system options repeatedaly goes back to 0 "Zero" - Is there a way to change this programatically. When I tried to record the script - the recording shows only two sentences that is begining and ending of the script
Please help me with this
