Page 133: File Transfer
This chapter describes how to transfer files using the Kermit, XMODEM, XMODEM-1K, YMODEM Batch, ZMODEM and ASCII protocols. Introduction TeemTalk includes a file transfer utility which enables two-way file transfer between the host and your PC. A range of file transfer protocols are supported to provide compatibility with virtually any host computer.
Page 134 File Transfer YMODEM Batch YMODEM Batch is similar to XMODEM-1K, but enables several files to be transferred. It checks for errors using a cycling redundancy check only. ZMODEM ZMODEM is an advanced development of YMODEM which enables much faster multiple file transfer with enhanced error detection and aborted transfer resumption. The zmodemStartup initialization command or -zm command line option can be used to make TeemTalk check incoming data for a remote ZMODEM startup sequence then automatically start a file transfer.

Page 205: Creating A Script File
Creating A Script File This chapter describes TeemTalk's scripting language. Introduction TeemTalk provides a comprehensive script language which allows all aspects of the emulator to be controlled via user written command files. Operating in real time, the script language can be used to create customised environments, detect and act upon host events, and simulate user input.
Page 206: Using The File Menu
Creating A Script File TeemTalk for Windows 95 & NT To specify the name of the script file in the TT*W.INI private profile file (where * is your version of TeemTalk, e.g. 07 for TeemTalk-07W) , use a text editor to insert the following line under the command group headed [startup,default] , separating it from the next command group by a blank line: scriptfile=filename...
Page 207: Assigning Values To Variables
Creating A Script File For example, to program a key or button so that it will run the script file myscript.scr and assign the values value1 to variable ArgV1 and value2 to ArgV2, you would enter the following in the key/button definition text box: <'myscript.scr(value1,value2)'>...
Page 208: Script File Examples

Page 209 Creating A Script File also sometimes necessary to ensure that the LAST character received from the host is the LAST character of the string, to ensure that the host is ready to accept what is sent by the put command. You can use the Display Controls option in the Terminal Settings dialog box to find this out.

Page 211 Similar definitions can also be applied to soft buttons to allow frequently used sequences to be accessible with one mouse click. Key combinations are also possible to define by including the complete combination within angle brackets (< and >). For example, to program the A key so that it performs the same function as ALT + F4 :- pset macro VK_A "<ALT+VT__F4>"...

Page 216: Syntax Conventions
Creating A Script File Syntax Conventions This section explains the rules for writing a script program. Program Lines The first text entry of each line must be a script command or a line label, which may be preceded by any number of spaces from the beginning of the line. The command can be entered in upper or lower case.
Page 217 Decimal Value Of ASCII Characters In Strings You can enter the decimal value of ASCII characters within character strings. A decimal value is entered as a three digit number preceded by an underline character. Decimal values with only two digits must be preceded by a zero. For example: _027 means ESC (the Escape character)
Page 218: Script Operators
Creating A Script File Script Operators The script language supports various arithmetic operators to facilitate calculations and manipulations on numeric variables and discrete numeric values. Some of the operators are also extended to provide some useful manipulations on strings and string variables.
Page 219 Equivalence Testing (== !=) The == and != operators allow you to check that a variable is set to a particular value. For example, the following lines could be inserted between the 6th and 7th lines in the above sample code to provide a check for a specific value: else if (Input == 5) wrt "That's the value I wanted_n_r"...
Page 220: String Operators
Creating A Script File Arithmetic Modifiers (+= -= *= /= %=) These operators all act as per their usual function (if the = was ignored), but have the effect that they substitute the resultant value back into the variable upon which they were operating.
Page 221 For example: var $String while (String != "Exit") inp "Give me a string", String exit would keep requesting for input until the string equals Exit. The < and <= operators compare the decimal values of each character in the string in turn to see if the values are less than that of the equivalent characters in the string to which it is compared.
Page 222: Command Descriptions
Creating A Script File Command Descriptions The commands that can be used in the script file are described in alphabetical order on the following pages. Conventions Character Case Each command description begins by showing the basic command followed by the command format with any parameters.
Page 223: Dynamic Data Exchange

Creating A Script File FTU START Syntax: FTU START <command> This will start a file transfer where <command> can either be a variable or a string which usually relates to the name of the file to send or receive. The ftu set command is used prior to ftu start to specify whether you are sending or receiving a file.
Page 249 The following example will get the current protocol setting from the Windows 3.1 WIN.INI file and place it in the string variable netprot. getini "tt07w" "protocol" netprot The following example will get the current protocol setting from the Windows 95 or NT TT07W.INI file and place it in the string variable netprot.
Page 250 Creating A Script File HGET Syntax: HGET <variable> [, <count> [, <timeout>]] This gets one or more characters from the host and assigns them to the specified vari- able, where <count> is the number of characters to get from the host. If omitted then one character will be returned.
Page 251 Syntax: IF <condition> Informs the program to perform the command(s) on the following line(s) if the specified condition is true. The else command may be used in conjunction with if. For example: if (integer > 3) goto routine1: else goto routine2 If more than one command line is to be associated with if, insert a line containing the { (open curly brace) character before the first command line and a line containing the } (close curly brace) character following the last command line.
Page 252 Creating A Script File For example, to ask the user to enter his name and cause the name to be assigned to the variable UserID, the following line would be entered: inp "Please Enter Your Name: " UserID KACT Syntax: KACT <string> This command will cause the script program to perform the function of a key as if a terminal operator had pressed the key on the keyboard.
Page 253 KINTERCEPT Syntax: KINTERCEPT <boolean> When enabled, this command will cause all keystrokes entered by the terminal operator to be intercepted and stored in a queue so that the script program can take action on them using the kraw and kact commands. You should disable this function before the script program is exited.
Page 254 Creating A Script File KSTR Syntax: KSTR <string> This command will treat the characters contained in the string or string variable as macros to be performed. Refer to the Macros Settings dialog box description in the Setup Menus chapter for the macro definition format. More than one macro definition can be specified in the same string or variable.
Page 255 Syntax: LOW <result> <string> This command will convert all uppercase characters in a string to lowercase and place the resulting string in a variable, where <result> is a predefined string variable (see var) which will store the converted string. <string> is the string or variable containing the characters to be converted to lowercase.
Page 256 Creating A Script File For example, to specify that the Cancel and Retry buttons are to be displayed, the <buttons> integer would be 18. Only the following combinations of buttons are allowed: The following example will display a message box containing the message Do you wish to continue? and the buttons Yes and No, and cause the value of the button pressed by the user to be stored in the integer variable result.
Page 257 ONERROR Syntax: ONERROR <action> This command will perform the specified action when it encounters an error while the script program is running, where <action> can be one of the following: REPORT will display a message box indicating the type of error and the program line that caused it.

Page 269 var !float 0.45 All future references to a variable are made by using its name without the $, % or ! variable type identifying characters. Note: You can convert the type of data (string, integer, floating point number) from one variable to another using conv. You can specify more than one variable name (and value) on the same line.
Page 270 Creating A Script File wrt "Amount = " integer While commands may be nested up to 32 times. Syntax: WRT <string(s)> Displays string(s) delimited by double quote characters at the current cursor position. Variables (such as identity in the example below) can also be included. The following example will display User = followed by the contents of the variable identity and then perform a line feed (_n) and carriage return (_r).
Page 271: Error Numbers
Error Numbers You can incorporate a special variable called errno in your script file which will be used to store a number indicating the result of a command (i.e. success or type of failure). The errno variable is an integer variable which is already defined as part of the script language, that is, you do not need to use the var command to include it in your script file.

Page 293: Dynamic Data Exchange
Dynamic Data Exchange This chapter describes the support of dynamic data exchange (DDE) by TeemTalk. Introduction With the adoption of a standard user interface within the Microsoft Windows environment, personal computer users are becoming accustomed to the formalised methods by which keystrokes and mouse actions have a common effect, making it easier for users to become familiar with and switch between a whole range of unrelated but important applications.
Page 294 Dynamic Data Exchange ● Creating compound documents, such as a word-processing document that includes a chart produced by a graphics program. Using DDE, the chart will change when the source data is changed, while the rest of the document remains the same.
Page 295: Dde Terminology
DDE Terminology In order to achieve a degree of understanding of the concepts of DDE, it is important to have a grasp of some of the terminology used to describe the protocol. Two applications co-operating in a DDE link are considered to be engaged in a DDE conversation.
Page 296: Using The Edit Menu Dde Functions
Dynamic Data Exchange Using The Edit Menu DDE Functions The most apparent DDE support provided by TeemTalk are the two entries in the Edit menu, DDE Row Copy and DDE Column Copy. These two functions do not directly invoke a DDE link to another application. Instead, they ensure all the information that Microsoft Excel™...
Page 297 =szAppName|szTopicName!szItemName Therefore the Topic for the particular instance of TeemTalk under question is given between the | and the ! characters. The last piece of information required to establish a permanent data link is the item name itself. TeemTalk treats the item name as a direct reference to a position on the display area.
Page 298: File Transfer
Dynamic Data Exchange File Transfer TeemTalk for Windows 3.1 (not Windows 95 or NT) supports DDE links with its file transfer executable, TTFLER.EXE, distributed with the standard TeemTalk package. Without getting too deep into the internal windows messages that are transmitted, the link between TeemTalk and TTFLER can briefly be summarised as follows.
Page 299 Data Transmission Over A Slave DDE Link Once initiated, TeemTalk enters Slave mode, diverting all input from the keyboard, for example to the Client application, and permitting data to be sent to it from the Client. Data coming from TeemTalk will be sent in the form of a DDE POKE message. A suitable way of accepting this is outlined below.

Page 311 The first four functions in the table enable interrogation of TeemTalk. The remaining functions are described in the following sections. All functions referenced with the "Session" topic can additionally be performed using a topic name relating to the relevant TeemTalk instance, i.e. TTLK1, TTLK2, etc. as discussed in the section Using The Edit Menu DDE Functions earlier.

Page 313 are received and then all of the buffered data will be dispatched to the Client DDE application that established the link. The termination characters are CR LF by default, but this can be overridden by including the following WIN.INI command in the TeemTalk command group: SessRecvTerm=character(s) where character(s) can be CRLF (default), CR, or LF.

Page 325 This appendix provides answers to the most commonly asked questions. Problem: When I try to run TeemTalk a message appears warning me that the language DLL or file transfer utility may not be compatible. Solution: This may occur when you have more than one version of TeemTalk installed on your system and the version you are trying to run is attempting to use a DLL or file that belongs to another version.

Page 337: Character Sets
This appendix shows the tables of characters that are supported by TeemTalk. Introduction The following pages show the character sets that are supported when TeemTalk is in Tek Alpha or VT220 Alpha overall mode (as explained below). The mode in which each set is valid is indicated in brackets under the heading.
Page 338 Character Sets To enter a control character from the keyboard, first find the displayable character equivalent by adding 64 to the decimal value of the control character in the relevant character set table. For example, the control character CR (carriage return) has a decimal value of 13.
