Set all the things you'd like to default (this includs directories you'd like to load txt from, send/receive from, transfer methods, etc.). Then go to install and simply select default. This will save all those defaults to the file called PT.PARM. Hope this creates your ultimate program. I think ProTERM does everything I need. I don't use GSOS that much, so that's not a problem. I would like to see the ANSI too. What I would actually like to see, is a GBBS which would support ZMODEM. That would make me happy. aptc1%mkvax1@msus1.bitnet

I almost always use y-modem batch and I find it extremely >> annoying to have to reset them every time I boot up Proterm. You can always make global macros. Try this: #-Y * do ymodem batch receive to test dir * do 'receive <ymodem> <batch> <> <> </test.dir> <over>' ex #-Z * do zmodem batch recieve to test dir * do 'recieve <zmodem> <batch> <> <> </test.dir> <over>' ex Now save this as "PT.GLOBAL". Now after you get the download set on the host end, all you have to do is hit Open-Apple Y for Y-Modem Batch, and OA-Z for Z-Modem Batch. Very easy and nice. I personally like ProTERM alot. I see nothing wrong w/ it (since I don't use Kermit, but if I did, of course I would want it). -- Scott James Klafke _| (sjklafke@csd4.csd.uwm.edu) Scott & Company |_ Business Phone Home Phone 372 E.

Network Comment: to #10912 by APTC1%MKVAX1%MSUS1.BITNET@cunyvm.cuny.edu Thanks for the Proterm tip. I'm one of those people who never read the docs. I did buy this one, too... You just saved me hours.... (oh well, it took me almost a year to learn about "scrollback". Heh heh)
