Hello All,
Forgive me if there is an easy solution to my problem. I am _very_ new at
Arexx programming. All I need, is for an arexx script to wait until I go
online. Completely independent of any other program. I'm currently using
this:
DO UNTIL online=-1
online=-1
IF ~OPEN("test","TCP:SMTP/25","RW") THEN DO
online=0
ADDRESS COMMAND "Wait 5"
END
END
I know that there is probably a much shorter way of doing this. My main
problem with it however is that a requestor asking for TCP: pops up every 5
seconds when I don't have my TCP stack loaded.
Don't worry. I'm going to download an Arexx guide in a minute. I will get
better. ;)
Regards,
Mike Cardwell.
