[comp.windows.ms] Need info on Windows comm programs

I'm looking for a Windows communication program with a script language
that can do the following:

     Monitor incoming data for a some special flag string.

     When that flag string is seen, turns off displaying text to screen.

     Collects data until a second flag string is seen, then turns text 
     display back on.

     Can call a DLL routine and pass it the collected data.

For example, say the user is typing a text file which has the following
string embedded.  
  
  This is a </HIDE Hidden data string   /END>test string.

When the script sees </HIDE it should stop displaying text to the screen,
collect the hidden data string and then continue display text.  The 
user should only see "This is a test string." 

I've already tried Dynacomm from FutureSoft, but I can't get it to hide the
string.  Do MicroPhone or WinComm have script languages?  Please email
any response.  I'll post a summary.

Thanks!  Dan   dbien@hpuxa.ircc.ohio-state.edu
