** RECORD **
A SALT Script Creator for Telix
Version 2.0

INTRODUCTION:
════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Would you like to have logon scripts for all your favorite
BBS's but can't seem to get the hang of all that SALT stuff?
Now, you can have all those scripts without knowing the first
thing about SALT or programing.
RECORD is a recording mode for Telix. It "watches" you as you
perform your logon. It notes what text is sent by the system
you're connected to, and what your responses are. Using this
information, it writes a script which will wait for the same
prompts and send the same responses. You invoke RECORD as a
"linked script", log onto the BBS, and RECORD will write the
script FOR you! That's right, RECORD will write and compile your
SALT script for you automatically!
The script that RECORD writes will also put the name of the BBS
and a clock on the status line if you have one configured in
Telix. The status line will be restored when you lose carrier.
If the BBS changes causing the script to fail, it will tell you
what prompt it was looking for so you know what happened.
You CAN record an upload and/or downloads and optionally have the
script delete your successfully uploaded file. Only one upload is
permitted per session, but it can be a batch upload. Please note
that 'delete uploaded file' will not work for batch uploads.
RECORD will work with any Port and IRQ as long as Telix is
working correctly with them.
RECORD is a shareware product. It is not "freeware" or public
domain. If you use RECORD, you are expected to pay for it just
like any other program. In return for the $10 registration fee,
you will receive a key to remove the exit screen and brand your
name as registered in this AND any future versions.

PACKING LIST:
════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
You may distribute RECORD freely (in fact, I would appreciate
your doing so), provided that you distribute only the full,
unmodified self extracting archive (RECORD20.EXE), with its
full name intact, containing the following files:
RECORD.SLC 12298 The RECORD script itself.
RECORD.DOC 9541 The file you are reading.
HISTORY.TXT 1624 The version history.
REGISTER.TXT 2822 The registration form.
INSTALLATION:
════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
This documentation assumes a basic understanding of terms such as
"Logon Script", "Linked Script" and "Dialing Directory". If these
terms are unfamiliar to you, consult your Telix manual.
RECORD.SLC and CS.EXE (the SALT compiler that came with Telix)
should be kept in the directory you have defined as your Telix
script directory. Please note that your defined script directory
must end with a trailing back-slash. (c:\telix\scripts\)
^
Edit your dialing directory to include RECORD as the linked script
for whatever entries you want a logon script created. (ALT-D, E)
USING RECORD:
════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Call one of the entries that has RECORD as it's linked script.
RECORD will start running as soon as you are connected.
Once connected to the BBS, simply go through the actions you wish
to automate. Answer all prompts as usual (except as noted below).
If you have a password defined in your dialing directory for
that entry, you can just hit the F1 key at the password prompt
and RECORD will send your password for you.
If you are calling a BBS that asks you to enter one or two
ESCAPES, hit the ESC key ONLY ONE time. The second escape will
be sent for you automatically.
**If you are planning to record an upload you must know the "Key"
letter for the protocol you plan to use, before making your call.
**If you are planning to record a download you must have the protocol
set up to auto-download. (That leaves out the Xmodems and Ascii.)
When you are done with the steps you wish to automate, hit Alt-X
to tell RECORD to stop recording.
RECORD will then ask you to enter a name for your new script.
If you want to keep the default name, just hit ENTER.
If you do not want to save what you have just recorded, hit ESC.
After entering the script name, RECORD will write and compile a
script to do all the steps you have just recorded.
You would then edit that dialing directory entry again to change
it's linked script from RECORD to your new script name. (ALT-D, E)
Next time you call that entry, your newly created script will
automatically do all the actions you recorded. Please note that
if any prompt on the BBS changes, the script will fail. It will
however, tell you what it was looking for when it failed.
