X
XProgram startup:
X----------------
X 1> vt100 [-i | +i initfile] [ scriptfile ... ]
X
X - -i option means don't look for an init file; +i means
X look for an init file of this name. The search for the
X init file will be the current directory then S:. Of
X course you can always override this by saying C:file if
X you like. The format for the init file is described
X later in this document.
X
X - The init file controls the setting of initial defaults
X and screen and macro definitions.
X
X - If none of the files (listed above) are found, the
X built-in defaults (defined in VT100.C as variables,
X beginning with "p_") are used.
X
X - All commands are either menu or script based. Scripts
X are described below.

X AMIGA VT100 comments
X ------- ------- ---------------------------
X 0-9 == 0-9
X . == .
X ENTER == ENTER (basically, flip the bottom
X - == , 2 keys up to get a VT100)
X HELP == - (only free key around)
X f1-f4 == PF1-PF4 (or any rebinding you do)
X arrows == arrows
X
XNote: If you own an A500 or an A2000 and you use a "good" keymap the
X top 4 keys of the keypad will function as the VT100 F1-F4. This
X that you can use the Amiga's F1-F4 for your own use and still have
X the ability to generate the VT100 PF1-PF4.
X
X Right AMIGA key in conjunction with a period (".") will send a
X break to the host.
X
X CTRL in conjunction with an at-sign ("@") a two ("2") or a
X space (" ") will send a NULL to the host.
X
X CTRL in conjunction with a six ("6") will send a CTRL-^
X CTRL in conjunction with a dash ("-") or question mark ("?")
X will send a CTRL-_ to the host.
X
XMulti file Xfers:
X-----------------
XThe VT100 emulator supports multiple file transfers. This is
Xspecified by using a comma (",") between file names when using XMODEM
Xor KERMIT. (NOTE: host XMODEM's normally CANNOT support multiple file
Xtransfers).
X
XWhen specifying a file name to recieve by default the directory path is
Xstripped off of the filename when sent to the host but is kept for the
Xlocal file spec. eg:
X
X receive file: ram:file.txt,df1:newfile.bin,$
X
Xwill ask the server for file.txt and put it in ram:, and get newfile.bin
Xand put it on df1: (see explanation of "$" below). If you do a single file
Xtransfer you will get another prompt for the remote name e.g.:
X
X receive file: ram:file.txt
X remote file name [file.txt]: userdisk1:wantfile.txt
X
XThe same rules apply to sending multiple files therefore if you are doing
Xmulti file transfers make sure the host server is connected to the desired
Xdirectory.
X
XIn addition KERMIT supports wildcards:
X * = any number of characters
X ? = any single character
XExamples:
X send: *.c,*.h,*.doc
X get: *.c,*.h,$
X
XNote that in this release, wilcarded files may be sent to a KERMIT that is
X*not* in server mode (e.g. you can say "RECEIVE" to the host KERMIT and
Xsend *.c files successfully).
X
XKERMIT receive is now smart enough to use the host filename so no
Xfilename needs to be specified on the AMIGA's side (see the CONVERT option).
X
XIf your host is capable of sending or receiving long packets (packets in
Xexcess of 94 bytes) you may set p_kmaxpack to some number <= 1000. The
Xscript command KMAXPACK can accomplish the same result.
X
XInitialization and Script file operation:
X-----------------------------------------
XAn initialization file (as described in the "Program Startup" section) may
Xcontain any of the commands shown below that have the word INIT in their
Xdescription below. Commands that are available from scripts have the word
XSCRIPT in the descriptions below. All commands may be abbreviated to 3
Xletters and are case insensitive.
X
XThe script file can be invoked by selecting 'execute file' from the script
Xmenu. At any time you can abort the script file by selecting 'Abort
XExecution'. You may also invoke a script from a function key if the first
Xcharacter of the function key definition is the KEYSCRIPT character (e.g.,
Xdefine F5 as "~df1:foo.script").
X
XPrior to release 2.9A (a patch release to 2.9), VT100 would interleave
Xscript command execution with the processing of data received from the
Xserial port. This made scripts inherently timing dependant. To remove
Xthis timing dependancy, beginning with 2.9A, VT100 will not receive nor
Xprocess data from the serial port while executing a script until the
Xscript issues a WAIT or a DELAY command. Since the ON command depends
Xon receipt of serial data, this change will also delay ON command
Xexecution until a WAIT or DELAY is encountered in the script as well.
XHowever, during the time a script file is running terminal emulation is
Xstill active and you may type simulataneous with the execution of the
Xscript file. This may be desired if your script file is WAITing for a
Xstring or is DELAYing for a period of time etc. You may, of course,
Xcancel the execution of a script at any time
X
XAREXX support:
X--------------
XAREXX is supported in this release. If an unknown command is entered and
XVT100 can successfully communicate with AREXX then VT100 will automatically
Xforward the unknown command to AREXX for execution -- AREXX will follow its
Xnormal search order.
X
XThe host name (address() in AREXX parlance) is composed of the characters
XVT100-, the name of the serial device used (i.e. the value specified on the
XDEVICE command or the value of p_device) and the unit number (i.e. the value
Xspecified on the UNIT command or the value of p_unit). For an unmodified
Xsystem using the serial device distributed with Workbench the hostname would
Xbe "VT100-serial.device-00".
X
XWhen you invoke an AREXX macro, AREXX will automatically search for a file
Xwhose name ends in .vt100. For example, if you enter FOO and have an AREXX
Xmacro present named FOO.vt100, AREXX will execute it on VT100's (and your)
Xbehalf.
X
XIf for some reason a path to AREXX cannot be established on startup, VT100 will
XNOT attempt to send unknown commands to AREXX. The user can force a retry by
Xusing the RX command or the RX menu item.
X
XAll AREXX macros run by VT100 run asynchronously with other work including
Xscripts and other AREXX macros. Be aware of this -- you could surprise
Xyourself!
X
XThe is one special command, FORWARD, which can only be used by issuing it from
Xan AREXX macro. This command allows an AREXX user to request that all data
Xreceived from the serial port be forwarded to a port for inspection. Heavy use
Xof this facility will cause VT100 to slow down considerably! Use it with
Xcaution! This command does, however, provide some substantial benefits. Most
Xnotable amongst those are the ability to effectively write a multi-way ON
Xcommand. See the sample AREXX macros packaged with the distribution.
X
XScript commands will return a return code to the invoking AREXX script. AREXX
Xautomatically places this value into the special variable RC. The values
Xreturned are listed in vt100.h and are explained here:
XCMDOK - Command executed OK
XCMDWARN - Command issued a WARNING message but completed in some fashion
XCMDBS - Command is invalid for current state (e.g. INIT only)
XCMDNF - Command not found (i.e. invalid command)
XCMDFAIL - Command failed completely.

X and a subsequent MSG will overlay string. If string
X contains ^J then the text up to the ^J will be
X displayed followed by a new-line followed by the
X remainder of the text of string.
X Example: (see SEND for string format)
X MSG "Show me this msg^J" Will display "Show me this msg" with a
X following new-line in the VT100 Info window.
X A subsequent MSG will overlay the text of this
X message.
X
X MSG "Show me^Mthis msg" Will display "Show me this msg" with a
X new-line after the words "me" and "msg".
X
X See the SEND command for a more complete
X definition of string.
X--------------------------------------------------------------------------
XNUMKEY Numeric keypad mode (INIT,SCRIPT)

X--------------------------------------------------------------------------
XON Peforms a command every time string is received (SCRIPT)
X Format:
X ON "string" cmd Execute cmd when string is received.
X Only one ON string may be installed at a
X time.
X
X If cmd is a GOTO and we were previously
X WAITing for a string the WAIT is aborted
X and execution resumes at the new label.
X
X If cmd is not SEND and we were previously
X DELAYing, then the DELAY is aborted and the
X cmd is executed, followed by the next
X command after the DELAY.
X
X If cmd is a SEND and we were previously
X DELAYing, then the DELAY is continued.
X
X If cmd is NULL (i.e. ON "") then the
X current ON command is aborted.
X Example:
X ON "LOSS CARRIER" GOTO RESTART
X If modem drops carrier, try to redial
X ON "--more--" SEND " "
X Send a space every time --more-- is received
X--------------------------------------------------------------------------
XPARITY Sets the parity (INIT,SCRIPT)
X Format:
X PARITY type Set the parity type
X Note that all received characters that are
X destined for the screen are subject to
X having their parity bits removed or left
X alone depending on the PARITY setting.
X Versions prior to 2.9 did not do this. I
X corrected this bug but you should be aware
X that old scripts that depended on this
X incorrect behaviour will probably break.
X If, for example, you are connected to a
X host which uses MARK parity but you
X PARITY NONE you will most likely never
X match an ON string.
X Example:
X PARITY NONE no parity
X PARITY MARK mark parity
X PARITY SPACE space parity
X PARITY ODD odd parity
X PARITY EVEN even parity
X--------------------------------------------------------------------------
XRECF Receive a file using the protocol specified in XPROTO (SCRIPT)
X Format:
X RECF file-spec
X Example:
X XPROTO XMODEMCRC Select XMODEM CRC protocol
X RECF Foo Receive Foo using XMODEM CRC
X--------------------------------------------------------------------------
XRX Send a command to AREXX for processing (INIT,SCRIPT)
X Format:
X RX command args Send command and args to AREXX
X Example:
X RX TRACE NOTHING Cause AREXX to execute TRACE.VT100 passing
X one parameter ("NOTHING").
X
X Note that it is normally unneccessary to use
X this command in other cases since VT100 will
X automatically route unknown commands to AREXX
X for processing. However, if VT100 cannot
X communicate with AREXX at startup it will NOT
X automatically send cmds to AREXX and this
X command must be used. In the normal case,
X though, this command will be used as the cmd
X option in an ON command. Also note that AREXX
X macros are run asynchronously...you may get
X results that you don't expect so think about it
X if you want to try to run two or more AREXX
X macros sequentially.
X
X See the section, above, on AREXX.
X
X Example:
X ON "gin:" rx login acs When "gin:" is received invoke the AREXX
X script login.vt100 passing 1 parameter:
X acs.
X--------------------------------------------------------------------------
XSB Sends a break character to the host (SCRIPT)
X Format: Note that any pending character to send
X SB is aborted by this call
X--------------------------------------------------------------------------
XSCREEN Define the screen type (INIT)
X Format:
X SCREEN type type of screen to use
X Example:
X SCREEN WORKBENCH use the workbench screen
X SCREEN CUSTOM use a custom screen
X--------------------------------------------------------------------------
XSEND Sends a string or character to the host. (SCRIPT)
X Format:
X SEND "string" Sends a string to the host. Beginning and
X ending double quotes (") are required. A
X carat (^) may be used to send control chars.
X Two carats transmits a carat character. Two
X imbedded double quotes will send a one double
X quote.
X SEND chr Sends a single character.
X SEND ^chr Sends a single control character. The chr
X is NOT case sensitve
X Example:
X SEND "mail" Send the string mail
X SEND "dir^M" Send the string dir followed by a <CR>
X SEND a Send the letter a
X SEND ^C Send a control C
X SEND "abc^^def" Send the string abc^def
X SEND ^^ Send a control-uparrow
X SEND " Send the '"' character
X--------------------------------------------------------------------------
XSENDF Send a file using the protocol specified in XPROTO (SCRIPT)
X Format:
X SENDF file-spec
X Example:
X XPROTO XMODEMCRC Select XMODEM CRC protocol
X SENDF Foo Send Foo using XMODEM CRC
X--------------------------------------------------------------------------
XSHARE Use the serial port in shared or exclusive mode (INIT,SCRIPT)
X Format:
X SHARE ON/OFF or YES/NO If ON or YES other programs that open the
X serial port in shared mode may be used
X (possibly via the EXTERNAL command. If OFF
X or NO is specified then no other program may
X use the serial port while VT100 has it open.
X VT100 will close the serial port if SHARE
X OFF is specified and an EXTERNAL protocol
X routine is invoked and then re-open it once
X the protocol module is done.
X Example:
X SHARE ON Open the serial port in shared mode
X SHARE NO Open the serial port in exclusive mode
X--------------------------------------------------------------------------
XSHORTCUT set a new shortcut command key (INIT)
X Format:
X SHORTCUT cmd key Sets key "key" to be the shortcut key for
X script command "cmd". A null key will
X cause no shortcut to be available for this
X command (menu-option). Cmd may be one of
X the following:
X >> File items: <<
X SE - Send file using XPROTO RE - Receive file using XPROTO
X KG - kermit get file KB - kermit bye (for server)
X CAP - ascii capture on/off
X >> Mode (XPROTO) items: <<
X ASC - ASCII "protocol" XM - XMODEM protocol
X XMC - XMODEM CRC protocol KE - Kermit protocol
X >> Comm items: <<
X 300 - Set Baud 300 1200 - Set Baud 1200
X 2400 - Set Baud 2400 4800 - Set Baud 4800

X# Function bindings (strings to type when any of F1 - F10 are pressed)
X# f <num> = function key

X#
X# Sample control characters:
X# ^[ = escape ^M = carriage return
X# ^J = line feed ^L = form feed
X#
X# If the first character of the string is a script introducer
X# (KEYSCRIPT) then the string is interpreted as a script filename
