Subject: Blank Batch file for LIFESCI
This is a brief explaination of how to send a "batch" file to LIFESCI
and would be appropriate for people on JANET or ARPA who can not send
"interactive" commands over BITNET.
All LIFESCI commands can be included in batch files. The batch file
concept allows the sending of multiple commands. The file may be of
any type including MAIL or NOTE. LIFESCI will take a file and start
scanning it one line at a time, each line that contains a command
will be executed. As a rule, each command is given ONE line.
There now follows TWO examples of a "batch" file that would be
sufficient to get you up and running on LIFESCI. The first example
is a SPECIFIC "batch" file to which you can refer when filling
in your own details in the BLANK "batch" file
This is the SPECIFIC "batch" file ( fictitious information ) and has
been used to register with LIFESCI, send a list of the TOPICS,
subscribe to the TOPIC LIFESCI, and send four files dealing with
(LIST CREATE KEYWORDS and RETREIVE)

OK I hope that is clear. Now here is the BLANK form which you
can fill in with your own information and send it to RPRLSCI@TECHNION
by VAX MAIL or IBM NOTE (Leave the Subject: line empty ).
Only send the information below the --8<--(Cut here)--8<--
That is to say the "batch" file should begin with register entry.
When you replace the the places marked with '???' with your own
details you will then be added to the NAME server and you can begin
to use LIFESCI. This "batch" file will register, and subscribe you
to the topic 'lifesci' and send you the most the important help
files to help you explore the wonders of LIFESCI.
