select an item of interest, either News or Mailbox. If you so choose, you can also
include the selection of the item in the log-on sequence.
Briefly, an automatic log-on sequence consists of identifying the host's log-on prompts
and sending the correct responses.
The Model 100 uses a series of Key Commands to anticipate and answer the log-on
prompts. These commands, listed in Table 15-2 are used as part of any log-on
sequence.

Table 15·2
To log-on automatically, some of the Key Commands, along with the correct
responses to the prompts, must be inserted between the <:
>-
symbols and stored along
with the telephone number in the ADRS.DO file.
After complying with the required responses, the log-on sequence should look like
this:
IS :123-4567
<AM~M?U8768,453AM?PTwo-toneAM?
SNews"M):
This is an explanation of how the above log-on sequence was determined:
1. Access the ADRS. DO file and position the cursor over the symbol
>.
2. Referring back to the log-on sequence, you must first send two carriage returns.
Type AM AM (the symbol Ais obtained by pressing (SHIFT)
CU).
3. Next, tell the Model 100 to anticipate the first prompt from the host, User ID, by
typing the Key Command ? (wait for a specific character) and then include a
single character from the prompt - we used the letter U.
4. Now, answer the prompt by typing your User ID: 9768,453.
5. Enter your ID number by typing AM. You'll recall from the table of Key
Commands that AM is the same as (ENTER).
6. Tell the Model 100 to anticipate the next prompt, Password, by typing ?P, and
then type your response (Two-tone). Don't forget to enter this by typing AM.
7. If you want to include the service you wish to access tell the Computer to wait
for the next prompt, What service?, by typing ?W, then follow this with News.
Again, you must enter this by typing AM.
