Non-ASCII Charactersfor Login Scripts
The following information enables you to create custom login scripts
thatrequire non-ASCII characters. It is provided for advanced users
whoun derstandthe use and requirements of such charactersi n a
custom login script.

Use of ^char

Youmay use thecaret ( ^ ) to transmit ASCII command characters. If
you send ^char, and the ASCII value of char is between @ and _, then
thecharacter is automatically translatedto a single-byte value
between0 and 31.
For example, ^M is converted to a carriage return. If char is a value
betweena andz, then t he charactersequen ceis translated to a single-
bytevalue between 1 and 26. If char is any other value, then the
character sequence is not subject to any special processing.
Forexample, the st ring “Joe^M” transmits Joe, followed by a carriage
return.

Carriage return and line feed

Youmay include carriage return and line feed commands as part of
the login script, when entered in the following format:
<cr> Sends or receives a carriage return
<lf> Sends or receives al ine feed
For example, the string “waitfor Joe<cr><lf>” waits to receive Joe
followedby a carriage return and line feed from the remote computer
beforeexecuting the next command in the script.
