Creating a login script

A login script is a series of commands, similar to an autoexec.bat file, that automates logging into your ISP. You can create login script files by selecting commands from the Command pick list in the Login Script dialog. Some commands from the Command pick list, such as Send, require you to supply additional information. Those commands have a parameter field so that you can add the necessary data.

Note: You can also use non-ASCII and literal characters in your login script. See Appendix D for more information.

To create a login script:

1.Tap Script.

2.Tap the End pick list.
