[comp.sys.apple] Help with Datalink

RONIE@cup.portal.com (RONALD LEE FERGUSON) (09/19/89)

I am using a Datalink 2400 modem.
I have been trying to write a macro with the software.
I want to execute a file which will be a menu.  From that menu I want
to be able to chain a module to dial a BBS.
What I need to know is How do I chain a program from another program
using the Datalink 2400 software.

I am using an Apple IIE computer.

Thank you.

If you're using DataTerm you can't execute another BAS or SYS or BIN program
directly from DataTerm.  A DataTerm script can CHAIN to another script (at
least I think it can.. I know TIC can do this but can't remember if this CHAIN
command is in DataTerm).  If you have something like ProSEL or another
selector that will let you set up a que then you could have DataTerm QUIT to
the selector and let the selector handle the transition to the next program
you need to run.
