I am trying to develop a Procomm+ aspect script file (rn.asp) to download rn newsgroups as a whole (to shorten connect time). I use a dw1 terminal type to avoid multiple --MORE-- prompts in an article, then read the header on the first unread article and wait for the --MORE--(*%) prompt. I then use the following .asp script: TRANSMIT " " ; Start rn sending ; LOOP: ; loop for responding to prompts WAITFOR "--MORE--" PAUSE 1 TRANSMIT " " WAITFOR "[NPQ] " PAUSE 1 TRANSMIT " " GOTO LOOP ;--------------------------- So far it works in reading the news and responding with spaces at the prompts but I cannot find a script command to perform an ASCII download WHILE it is executing these space responses. Any ideas? DLOAD? GETFILE ASCII? What would the actual command be and where in the script should I put it? If this is the wrong newsgroup to ask this, I appologise, I looked all over for a good one! -- | Dave Dennis (ddennis@nyx.cs.du.edu) | | Rocky Mountain Creative Advertising, Inc. | "Ilegitimi non carbarundum" | What I say is what *I* say! - There, I said it! |

In addition to the previous post, I would prefer using the vt100x term type as I get funny carriage returns when I use the dw1. Some way to handle multiple --MORE--'s before looking for the [npq] would be best. -- | Dave Dennis (ddennis@nyx.cs.du.edu) | | Rocky Mountain Creative Advertising, Inc. | "Ilegitimi non carbarundum" | What I say is what *I* say! - There, I said it! |

With Procomm Plus Aspect, you open a screen log with LOG OPEN "FILENAME".
Procomm Plus 2.00 might make your task easier, because three WHEN commands can
be active at the same time.
