The communications program Procomm Plus V1.1B has a feature that is mapped to the back quote (`) key. It's a pop-up menu that allows you to do things while on line, ect. This is fine, but occasionally I need to transmit a back quote character. How do I disable/re-map the back quote function so I can transmit the back quote character. It has nothing to do with the translation table; it only translates received characters, not transmitted ones. -- jdm@hodge.cts.com [uunet zardoz vdelta crash]!hodge!jdm James D.

Invoke the set-up facility by pressing ALT-S and select the general options menu and reset the menu line key. Should be as simple as that. ...................................................................

What you should do is to press ALT & S, then you will come to the setup menu, then move to the 'general options' choice and press ENTER. Now you are in the general options menu and by pressing the letter K you will be able to change the back quote to any character that you wish. Hope this helps.

Unfortunately, you *must* use a printable ASCII character; as a result, I don't use the menu line. I often need to be able to type *all* the printable characters. ++Brandon -- Brandon S.

I have another problem with Pcplus: when I am using a script file to log on to some other computer, for example, pcplus gets impatient if it has to wait too long and "leaks" the next step before the prompt for it is sent by the other computer. Any suggestions? Carl Riehm riehm@maccs.uucp riehm@mcmaster.bitnet Hashim Khan: "Keep eye on ball".

Any suggestions? Yes. See the PcPlus manual Chapter 11. See the command WAITFOR. The manual gives the syntax for including the wait time. Or if you want to have an example get /pc/ts/tspfon28.arc by anonymous ftp from 128.214.12.3. I am not repeating the WAITFOR syntax here, since I am not in a competition with DataStorm in publishing the PcPlus manual :-) ...................................................................

Many of the script file commands have timing arguments that can be set for the maximum wait time. The WAITFOR command has a default of 30 seconds. To up it to 60 seconds just use: WAITFOR "string" 60 WAITFOR also has a FOREVER option that allows you to wait forever for a string to appear on your screen; i.e.: WAITFOR "string" FOREVER You didn't say which script file commands you were having problems with, but all the ones with timing function have the timing argument with the same syntax as the WAITFOR command. -- jdm@hodge.cts.com [uunet zardoz vdelta crash]!hodge!jdm James D.

The only thing that "Transmit Pace Time" does is change the wait time between transmitted characters during an ASCII transfer. What you need to do is something like this: :LOOP WAITFOR "First name:" 25 IF NOT WAITFOR GOTO LOOP <send name, etc.> This will make it loop forever, waiting for the string you specify. You could also try increasing the wait time in the waitfor statement. -- Marc Unangst UUCP smart : mju@mudos.ann-arbor.mi.us UUCP dumb : ...!uunet!sharkey!mudos!mju UUCP dumb alt.: ...!{ames,rutgers}!mailrus!clip!mudos!mju Internet : mju@mudos.ann-arbor.mi.us

Transmit pace time controls the delay between the characters sent to the modem or the host, while Carl's problem is obviously about setting the response wait time, which is a parameter to the WAITFOR command in PcPlus script language. ...................................................................

If you know that there will be an extra long delay at any specific step of the script, you can insert a "WAIT ###" (where ### are the milliseconds) to delay the actions. PCPLUS I believe will wait 30 seconds before timing out and moving on. Leo Hinds ldh@hdw.harris.com
