~B AB
~K AL,AS,CL,LA,IF,JU,SK,ME,RW,SB,WH

         This command is only appropriate when used in a script file.  
                         See your manual for details.

~End



~B AC
The ACCEPT command allows you to set the type of access a caller has when 
calling into an answering Crosstalk system. By setting the accesd level, you  
can protect your system from unauthorized tampering.  The options to the 
ACCEPT command are:

Option    Action
--------     ------------------------------------------------------------------
Nothing -    Prohibit caller  from writing to any files 
Appends -    Allows caller to append captured data to an existing file, but not 
             to create any new files.  
Creates -    Allows caller to append data to or create new files, but not to
             overwrite existing files.
Everything - Allows caller full access to system.  
~End

~B AN
The ANSBACK command tells Crosstalk whether or not to respond to a received ^E
character. Many computer networks utilize this feature as a means of
identifying a caller. Answering Crosstalk and Transporter systems utilize the
feature to request your password. If ANSBACK is ON, a received ^E will cause
the contents of your F4 key (see FK command) to be sent. If ANSBACK is OFF, the
^E will be ignored.
~End

~B AP

The APREFIX command tells Crosstalk how to make your modem answer the phone.
When you place Crosstalk in answer mode, the string set by APREFIX is sent
to the modem.  By changing the APREFIX string, you can change the number of
times the phone will ring before Crosstalk answers.  See your modem's manual
for specific information for your particular modem.  
~END

~B AT
The ATTENTION command selects the key to be used for the "ATTENTION" key. The 
attention key is the key used to display the "Command?" prompt when you are in 
terminal mode. Note that this key can not be sent to the remote computer, since
typing it causes the program to immediately enter the command mode. The default
key used for attention is the ESCAPE key. If the system you are calling
requires you to send an ESCAPE, you will have to select another key for the 
attention key. 

Note that Crosstalk will not allow you to set the ATTENTION and SWITCH keys 
to the same key setting.
~End

~B BK
The BKSIZE command sets the size of the data block (in 256 byte increments)
sent during protocol transfers. It is normally set to 1. If you are "direct
connecting" two computers together without modems, you may wish to select a
larger block size (up to 16). Using a larger block size marginally speeds up
protocol transfers. We recommend the default setting of 1 when transferring
files via modems.
~End

~B BL
The BLANKEX command tells Crosstalk how to handle "blank" lines when sending
files to another computer with the SEND command. If BLANKEX is ON, Crosstalk
will convert blank lines into lines consisting of one space. This may be useful
when sending prepared text containing empty lines into a host computer system
which assumes a blank line to mean "end of text". 
~End

~B BR

The BREAK command is used to select the key to be used for sending a BREAK. The
BREAK key is normally assigned to the END key, but may be changed if desired. 
~End

~B BY

The BYE command hangs up the phone line, and disconnects the current call. Use
this command when you wish to hang up and make another call without exiting
Crosstalk.
~End

~B CALL

   To make a call, follow these steps:
1. Enter the phone number with the NUMBER command.
2. Select a modem speed with the SPEED command
3. Enter "GO", or press ENTER at the "Command ?" prompt.
4. When you are connected, Crosstalk will let you know.
5. To disconnect, press ESC, then enter "BYE" at the "Command ?" prompt.

~END

~B CA
The CAPTURE command has two main modes: Capture-to-disk, and capture-to-memory.
To capture directly to disk, enter "CA (filename)". If the file already exists,
Crosstalk will ask if you wish to over-write the file, or append the new data
to the end of the old file. The command "CA -" is used to to end capture-to-disk, and closes the capture file.

To capture data to memory, enter "CA +". Capture-to-disk automatically stores
the captured data to the specified disk file, but capture-to-memory requires
that you use the WRITE command to save the data before exiting Crosstalk. While
capturing data, the command "CA /" will toggle capture on and off, allowing you
to selectively save incoming data. The command "CA -" turns capture OFF. 

If you wish to capture some data which is already on your screen,and capture is
OFF, you may use the "RETRO-CAPTURE" feature. Enter "CA <xx", where xx is the
number of lines you wish to "grab" off the screen. Crosstalk will retroactively
capture the data, add it to the capture buffer, and leave CAPTURE ON. 
~End

~B CD
The CDIR command allows you to switch disk directories (available under DOS 2.0
and later only). To change directories, enter the command:

                         CD name

and Crosstalk will change the directory to the name given.  The command "CD"
alone will show the name of the current directory. 
~END

~B CO
The COMMAND command sets the COMMAND key. The COmmand character is the key a
caller would type if he had called into your system and wanted to enter
commands to Crosstalk. We recommend that you leave this key set to the default
setting of ^C.
~End

~B CS
The CSTAT command has two functions. The command "CStat" alone displays the
status of the capture buffer - how many lines of text and how many characters
have been captured, how much space is left for capturing additional data, and
how much space is left on the current disk.

The command "CS fred" will search the capture buffer for all occurances of the
text "fred". If the word "fred" is located in the capture buffer, the program
will display the contents of the capture buffer surrounding the located word.
After displaying the word, the program will offer to continue searching through
the buffer.

Note that the CS command may only be used when capture-to-memory is active.
~END

~B CW
The CWAIT command tells Crosstalk how to wait between characters when
transmitting files with the SEnd command. Use this command when you are sending
text to a computer system which can not accept text at full speed.

The CWAIT command has several options. The chart below illustrates the effect
of each:

Option    Effect
NONE      Do not  wait at all   
ECHO      Wait for each character to be echoed by the host before sending the 
          next character. 
DELAY XX  Delay xx tenths of seconds, then send the next character.

Note that CWAIT can be used in combination with LWAIT to allow you to transmit
text to virtually any dial-up computer system.
~End

~B DA

The DATA command is used to select the number of data bits used by Crosstalk.
The default value is 8. Crosstalk automatically switches to 8 bits whenever a
protocol transfer is performed, even if 7 bits had previously been selected.
Most dial-up computer systems require 7 data bits.
~End

~B DE
The DEBUG command allows you to select one of three "debug" modes. The debug
modes allow you to display incoming control-characters graphically on your
screen. This is often useful when attempting to identify non-printing control
characters transmitted by some dial-up computer systems.

          The chart below shows how each of the debug modes operates:

Mode      Action
None      Incoming control characters are not altered.

Hex       All incoming characters are shown as hex numbers. For example, an  
          incoming ^Z will be shown as [1A].

ASCII     Incoming control-characters are shown by their ASCII mnemonics. For  
          example, and incoming ^Z will be shown as [SUB].

Char      Incoming control-characters are shown in the form ^X. 
~ENd

~B DI
The DIR command is used to view the disk directory, much like the DOS  "DIR"
command.  Like the DOS DIR command, you may provide an optional file name, and
the program will display only those  files given in the file name. For example, 
the  command "DIR .ASM" will show only the .ASM files.

There are two options to the DIr command which are not found in the DOS DIR
command. These are the /S and /T options. The command "DIR /S" will show the
size of each file, and "DIR /T" will show the amount of time required to send
each file, at the current speed.  

Note that Crosstalk's directory display is limited to a maximum of 200 files.
If you have more than 200 files in a single directory, Crosstalk will display
only the first 200 file names. 
~END

~B DN
The DNAMES command is used to reserve memory space inside of Crosstalk for 
sorting directory entries. Crosstalk normally reserves space for 200 entries. 
If you have a hard disk system running DOS 1.x, you may want to set DNAMES to a
larger number. Increasing the number of directory spaces has the side effect 
of reducing the available capture memory space by 15 bytes per entry.
~End


~B DO
The DO command instructs Crosstalk to perform the commands contained in a
"script" file. Script files are files containing commands for Crosstalk to
perform. 

There are three forms of the DO command. The table below shows how each works.

Command        Action:
DO             When no other script file is active, this command will display 
               a menu of the available script files, and then ask you to 
               choose one.  The chosen  file will then be performed.
DO             If a script file has been suspended by a  WAIT MANUAL command, 
               entering "DO" will resume the  script file processing.
DO BERT        Performs the commands contained in the script file "BERT.XTS".

You may create a script file with any text editor, such as the EDLIN program
which is included with DOS. Script files must have the file name extension
"XTS". The script files may contain any list of commands you wish for Crosstalk
to do. There are two commands which are especially useful in script files.
These are the "REply" and "WAit" commands. 
~END


~B DP
The DPREFIX command tells Crosstalk how to dial your modem. When you instruct
Crosstalk to dial, the program sends the following data to the modem:

     DPREFIX string  | NUMBER string  |  DSUFFIX string

By changing the DPREFIX string, Crosstalk can dial a number of different types
of auto-dial modems. There are several characters which have special meaning
when placed in a DPREFIX string. These are:

Character      Effect
   |           Places a carriage return (ENTER key) in the string.
   ~           Causes Crosstalk to delay one second when dialing.
   ^           The  character following the ^ character is sent as a  control 
               character.   For example, "^T" would place the ^T character in 
               the dial prefix.
~END


~B DR

The DRIVE command has two functions. Entering "DRIVE" alone will show you the
amount of space remaining on all of the drives in your system. Entering "DR"
followed by a drive name ("DR B:") will change the "default" drive to the
specified drive.

~END

~B DS

The DSUFFIX command sets the dialing suffix string. (see explanation of the
DPREFIX command). The same special characters apply to DSUFFIX as apply to
DPREFIX.
~END

~B DU

The DUPLEX command sets duplex to full (local echo OFF) or half (local echo
ON). Most dial-up computer systems require that your system be set for FULL
duplex.

Note that when you select ANSWER mode, Crosstalk selects HALF duplex. When you
select CALL mode, the program automatically selects FULL duplex. See the
glossary for an explanation of "duplex".
~END

~B ED
The EDIT command allows you to run a text editor from within Crosstalk. When
you use the EDIT command, Crosstalk stays in your computer's memory, and
continues to receive any incoming data. After you exit from your text editor,
you will automatically return to Crosstalk. 

Before you can use the EDIT command, you must use the EPath command to tell
Crosstalk where to find your text editor program. Type "HELP EPATH" for more
information.
~END

~B EM
The EMULATE command sets the type of terminal Crosstalk will emulate. This is
important to you only if the system you are calling utilizes cursor positioning
and clear screen codes for a particular type of terminal. The terminals
Crosstalk can emulate are: Televideo 910/920, IBM 3101, ADDS Viewpoint, and the
DEC VT-100. To select an emulation mode, Enter the command "EM x", where x is
the first letter of the terminal you wish to emulate.
~END

~B EP
The EPATH command is used to tell Crosstalk where to find your text editor 
program.  Before Crosstalk can run your text editor for you, it has to know
where to find the editor, and what the name of the editor is.  For example,
if you wish to use the EDLIN editor supplied with DOS, and EDLIN.COM is in a
subdirectory called "bin", then you would enter the command:
                            EPATH C:\BIN\EDLIN.COM
We suggest that you set EPATH once, then save a new STD file, so that you
won't have to re-enter the editor name each time you run Crosstalk.
~End

~B ER
The ERASE command has two functions: The command "ER" alone will erase the
contents of the capture buffer. The command "ER FILE.NAM" will erase the file
"FILE.NAM". You are always asked to confirm an erase before the operation
actually takes place. The command "ER *.*" will allow you to selectively erase
any or all files on a disk. 
Note that an answer-mode caller may only use the ERASE command to erase the
contents of the capture buffer. He may NOT erase files from the disk.
~END


~B FI

The FILTER command is used to select which characters Crosstalk will discard
when the INfilter option is used. Enter "FI" and press ENTER, and Crosstalk
will show you a list  of  allowable  control characters.  You may change the
list as desired for  your application.   Note that  the  FILTER settings are 
saved when a command file is saved  with  the SAVE command.
~END

~B FL
The FLOW command is used to tell Crosstalk how to control character flow with
the host computer system.   Normally, FLOW is set to ^S/^Q, meaning that the 
host system will stop sending upon receipt of a ^S, and will re-start after 
receiving a ^Q.  If you wish, you can have separate start/stop sequences 
for the host system and your Crosstalk system.  To enter a new set of 
stop/start characters, enter the command:  "FLOW ab cd", where a, b, c,
and d are as follows:

	a 	Sent by host to make Crosstalk stop sending
	b	Sent by host to let Crosstalk start sending again
	c	Sent by Crosstalk to make the host stop sending
	d	Sent by Crosstalk to let the host start sending again

For example, the command: "Flow SQ" will set ^S as the stop character, and
^Q as the restart character.  If you supply only "a" and "b",then Crosstalk 
will use the same set of characters for both the host system and the 
Crosstalk system.

To disable flow control entirely, enter "FLOW -".
~End


~B FK
The FKEYS command is used to set and display the contents of the programmable
function keys. The command "FK" will show the settings of the "normal" function
keys, "FK A" will show the contents of the "Alt" functions keys. The other two
sets of keys are "Shift" and "Control". 

To set a function key, enter "FK n string" (or "FK An string" for alt-keys),
where n is the number of the key to be set, and "string" is the string of text
assigned to that key. Several characters have special meaning when used in
function keys. The vertical bar (|) places a carriage return in the string. The
tilde (~) causes a two second delay. Any key which begins with an at-sign (@)
will be taken as a command to Crosstalk. 

For Example, the command "FK C1 @PR /|" will set key control-F1 to "@ PR /|".
When the Control-F1 key is pressed, Crosstalk will toggle the printer on or
off.
~END

~B GENERAL

If you wish to make a call, enter "HELP CALL". If you wish to exit from
Crosstalk, enter "QUIT". For help on any specific topic, enter "HELP (topic)".  
~END


~B GO

The function of the GO command depends on which mode the program is in. In CALL
mode, The GO command tells Crosstalk to dial a number and establish a
connection. You may instruct the program to re-dial automatically if a
connection is not established on the first try. The command "GO R 30" would
tell Crosstalk to re-dial every 30 seconds until a connection is established.

The command "GO LOCAL" tells Crosstalk that there is no modem connected to the
system. Use this option when using Crosstalk to transfer files between two
computers "hard-wired" together. When the local option is used, the carrier
detect signal on the RS-232 interface is ignored, and the "online" timer in the
status line is replaced by the word "local".

In ANSWER mode, the GO command tells Crosstalk to begin waiting for incoming
calls.
~END

~B HE
The HELP command provides help on all of Crosstalk's commands. Entering "HElp"
with no option displays a list of all of Crosstalk's commands. If you need help
with a command, type "HELP XX" <CR>, where "XX" is the command you need help
with. If Crosstalk asks you a question you don't understand, enter a "?", and
the help for that command will be displayed.
~END

~B IN
The INFILTER command tells Crosstalk to discard incoming control characters
when in terminal mode. Some host computer systems may send control-characters
which are meaningless to the your computer. Turning INFILTER ON will discard
these characters. If your see extraneous "junk" characters on the terminal
screen, try turning INFILTER ON. INfilter also "strips" the top bit off of
8-bit characters. With INFILTER OFF, these characters may appear as "graphics"
characters. Turning INFILTER ON will display these characters correctly.
~END

~B LF
When LFAUTO is on, Crosstalk will print a line feed on the screen after each
received carriage return. This is useful when communicating with systems which
do not send line feeds.

Conversely, when LFAUTO is ON, Crosstalk will print a carriage return each time
a line feed is received. This is useful when communicating with systems which
send line feeds without carriage returns.
~END

~B LI
The LIST command is used to display Crosstalk's parameter settings. The
operation of the LIST command depends on who issued the command. If "LI" is
entered as a command from the status screen, several infrequently-used
parameters are shown in the status screen "window". If a person calling into an
answer-mode Crosstalk system issues the LIST command, the program displays the
full listing of all the parameters, in much the same format as it is displayed
on the status screen.
~END

~B LO
The LOAD command is used to load Crosstalk command files. Command files are
files containing commands for Crosstalk to perform. The command "LO" will
display all of the available command files, and allow you to choose one to
load. The command "LO FRED" will load in "FRED.XTK", and perform all of the
commands contained in that file. 
~END

~B LW
The LWAIT command tells Crosstalk how to wait between lines when transmitting
text files with the SEnd command. There are several options to the LWAIT
command. The table below shows how each option works:

Option          Effect
NONE            Each line is sent with no waiting.
Prompt X        Send a line of text, wait for a prompt of X characters, then
                send the next line.
Char "X"        Send a line of text, wait until the character "X" is received,
                then send the next line.
Delay X         Wait X tenths of seconds between lines.
Echo            Wait until a carriage return is echoed from the host system.
Learn           Send the first line of text, count incoming characters, wait
                until the user presses the space bar, then  send each
                successive line with a wait for a prompt of "count" characters.

~END

~B MO

The MODE command tells your Crosstalk program whether to Make or Answer calls.
If you wish to MAKE a call, select "CALL" mode. To ANSWER calls, use "ANSWER"
mode. Crosstalk automatically selects HALF Duplex (see DUplex command) when the
answer mode is selected, and selects FULL duplex when call mode is selected.
~END

~B NA

The NAME command is used to set the name of a called location. Use of this
command is optional. If a NAme has been given to Crosstalk, the name will be
sent as a "greeting" message whenever a remote terminal calls into Crosstalk in
the answer mode.
~END

~B NO

This command is used internally between two Crosstalk systems. It is sent from
an answer system to a call system at the end of a file transfer, to tell the
calling system that there are no more files to be transmitted.

This command is not normally entered as a command by the user.
~END

~B NU
The NUMBER command sets the phone number to be dialed. The number may be up to
40 characters long.  There are several characters which have special meaning
when used in a phone number.  They are:

	% - Five second wait		& - Wait for second dial tone
	T - Force tone dialing		P - Force pulse dialing
~END

~B OU

The OUTFILTER command instructs Crosstalk to screen out line feed when sending
text files with the SEnd command. If OUTFILTER is ON, line feeds characters are
discarded. 
~END

~B PA

The PARITY command is used to set the parity bit to the appropriate value. Some
systems require that parity be set correctly, other systems ignore parity
entirely. The possible settings for the PARITY command are None, Even, and Odd.
~END

~B PI
The PICTURE command allows you to take a "picture" of the screen, and save the
picture into a disk file of your choice. For example, the command: 
  
                          PICTURE BERT

will save an image of the screen in the file BERT. If BERT already exists, the
program will ask if you wish to erase the old file, or add the new picture to
the end of the file.

This feature is most useful when you need to make an absolute copy of the
screen. All of the data on the screen is saved in the file exactly as it
appears on the screen.

Note that you may use the PICTURE command from either the terminal or status
screens.
~END

~B PO

The PORT command tells Crosstalk which of the computer's communications ports
to use. Note that on some computers, it may be necessary to re-set the baud
rate after switching ports.

The number of ports available depend on how many ports are installed in your
computer. The ports are usually numbered 1 and 2, although Crosstalk will also
accept A and B as port numbers.

Some versions of Crosstalk also allow use of ports 3 and 4.  Check your manual
for more information.

~END

~B PM

The PMODE command tells Crosstalk what type of system you are transferring
files with. If you are sending files to another MS-DOS or PC-DOS system ,set
PMODE to 2. If you are sending files to a CP/M system, set PMODE to 1.
~END


~B PR
The PRINTER command tells Crosstalk to echo all data displayed on the terminal
screen to the printer. Turning PRINTER ON does not turn the terminal video
display off. The command "PR /" will toggle the printer to the opposite state
of what it currently is. 

Note: If you are using a serial printer connected to a COM port, use the
command "PR DOS" instead of "PR ON". 

~END

~B PW
The PWORD command is used to set Crosstalk's answer password.The password may
be up to 12 characters long. If you have set a password, then any persons
calling into your system will be required to enter the password before they can
access your system. Setting PWORD to blank disables the password feature.
~END

~B QU

The QUIT command tells Crosstalk to immediately disconnect and return to DOS.
If any information is in the capture buffer, Crosstalk will ask if you wish to
save the information before exiting. 
~END

~B RC

This command is used internally by Crosstalk, during file transfers. It is not
normally entered as a command by the user. 
~END

~B RD
The RDIALS command tells Crosstalk how many times to dial a phone number before
abandoning the call.  The normal value is 10.  If you set RDIALS to zero, then
Crosstalk will not attempt to re-dial a call if the called fails to connect
on the first try.
~End

~B RE
The REPLY command sends a string of text to the modem. The command "RE Hello."
would send the text "Hello." to the modem. To send a control character, enter
the character in the form "^X". To send a carriage return, use the vertical bar
"|". The REply command is normally used only inside of a Crosstalk "script"
file. Script files are a special type of file which contains commands for
Crosstalk to perform. 
~END

~B RQ

The RQUEST command is used to request a transfer of files from another
Crosstalk system. This command should only be issued from a CALL mode system
when calling into an ANSWER mode system.
 
You may specify an optional target or destination drive name when issuing the
RQUEST command. Some examples of this are shown below:

Command         Result
RQ *.asm        Request all files with the type .ASM
RQ B:FRED       Request the file FRED from drive B:, place the file on the 
                default drive.
RQ B:BERT C:    Request the file BERT from drive B:, place the file on drive
                C:.

~END

~B RU
The RUN command is used to run other programs from Crosstalk.  To run another
program, enter "RUN (name)".  Crosstalk will turn control over to the other
program, and control will return to Crosstalk when the second program is
finished.  You may also temporarily return to DOS by entering "RUN" with no
program name.  Once you are in DOS, you may run another program.   To return
to Crosstalk, enter "EXIT" from the DOS prompt.  (DOS 2.0 & later ONLY)
~End

~B RX
The RXMODEM command is used to receive files from another computer system using
the XMODEM protocol. To transfer a file from another system to yours, first
tell the other computer to send you a file, then press the attention key and
enter the command "RX (filename)"
~END

~B SA

The SAVE command saves a Crosstalk command file for future use. All of
Crosstalk's operating parameters, including all function key definitions, are
saved in the command file. 
~END

~B SC

The SCREEN command has two purposes: It may be used to switch screens under
control of a script file, or it may be used to select the colors to be used.
Some typical SCREEN commands are:

Command   Effect
--------  ------------------------------------------------------
SC S      Switch to STATUS screen display
SC T      Switch to TERMINAL screen display
SC N y    Set "normal" screen color to dark yellow.
SC H G    Set "highlighted" screen color to bright green
~End


~B SE
~K READ
~K UPLOAD

Use the SEND command to send a text file from your disk to another computer
system. This command is most often used when communicating with another
computer which is not running Crosstalk. If the system you are communicating
with is running Crosstalk, use the "XMit" command instead. 

Several other commands are used to modify the method the SEND command uses to
send files. For information on all of the commands affecting the operation of
the SEND command, see the LWAIT, CWAIT, BLANKEX, and OUTFILTER commands.
~END

~B SN

The SNAPSHOT command is used to take or review a "snapshot" of the terminal
screen. Enter "SN 24" to take a snapshot of all 24 lines on the screen. You may
then view this screen by typing "SN". This is especially useful when trying to
remember a long list of menu items on a screen. The snapshot buffer remains
intact until you take another snapshot. The snapshot buffer may NOT be written
to a disk file. To save data on the screen into a disk file, use RETRO-CAPTURE. 
~END

~B SP

The SPEED command selects the speed at which your computer will communicate
over the phone line. Only the first digit of the desired speed need must be
entered. Note that 1200 baud is 1, 110 baud is 0.
~END

~B ST

The STOP command sets the number of stop bits used to make up the data word.
Most systems use 1 stop bit at speeds of 300 baud, and above, and 2 stop bits
at 110 baud.
~END

~B SW

The SWITCH command selects the key to be used for switching between the
terminal and status screens. This key is normally the HOME key (Shift-home when
in DEC and IBM 3101 Emulation), but can be changed to another key if desired.

~END

~B TA

The TABEX command is used to turn tab expansion on and off. When TABEX is on,
transmitted tab characters are sent as spaces to the next tab position. This is
useful when sending files to systems which do not interpret tabs. 

Note that the TABEX command only affects the SEND command. It has no effect on
normal "terminal mode" operation.
~END

~B TI

The TIMER command allows you to disable the "online" timer on the terminal
screen. When TIMER is ON, the online connection time is constantly displayed at
the lower right corner of the screen. Setting TIMER to OFF removes the timer
count from the screen.

Note that the timer does not count unless the TIMER command is set to ON. 
~END

~B TU

Some computer systems use a key other than ENTER to mean "end of line". The
TURNAROUND command tells Crosstalk which character to send when the ENTER key
is pressed. 
~END

~B TY

The TYPE command has two functions: It may be used to review the contents of
the capture buffer, or it may be used to view the contents of a disk file.

When given with no name, the TYPE command types the contents of the capture
buffer to the screen. The command "TYPE (filename)" will type the contents of
the file on the screen. Crosstalk will add line numbers to each line if
desired. Enter "TY #" to type the capture buffer with line numbers, or "TY #
FRED.TXT" to type the file FRED.TXT with line numbers. To begin TYping at a
particular line, you may enter "TY #100 FRED.TXT", to begin typing FRED.TXT
starting with the 100th line in the file.
~END

~B UC

The UCONLY command is used to set upper case mode on and off. When UCONLY is
on, all lower case letters encountered during a SEND will be converted to upper
case. Received characters are not affected. 

Note that this command does not have any effect on normal terminal mode
operation.
~END

~B WA

The WAIT command tells Crosstalk to wait between lines when performing a script
file. The options available with the WAIT command are:

Condition       Effect
Echo            Wait for a carriage return, then do the next line in the 
                script file.
Quiet X         Wait until the line is "quiet" (i.e., no characters received)
                for X tenths of a second, then do the  next line in the script
                file.
Delay X         Wait for a period of X tenths of a second, then do  the next
                line.
Char 'x'        Wait until the character "x" is received from the 
                communications line, then send the next line. 
For 'x'         Same as "char 'x'", above. 
Prompt X        Wait for X characters from the communications line, then do the
                next line in the file.
Until HH:MM     Wait until the time described by HH:MM, then do the next  line
                in the file. Note that time must be expressed in 24 hour 
                (military-style) format.
Manual          Suspend script processing until a "DO" command  is issued.

~END

~B WR

The WRITE command stores captured data into a file of your choice. If a disk
error occurs, or if the capture buffer is empty, an error message will be
printed. 

Use the WRITE command when you have captured data using the capture-to-memory
command, and you wish to save the captured data on your disk. It is not
necessary to use the WRITE command if you are using capture-to-disk.

~END
~B XD

The XDOS command tells Crosstalk to exit to DOS without hanging up the phone
line. You may run any other program and return to Crosstalk, and your
connection will still be intact. If any information is in the capture buffer,
Crosstalk will ask if you wish to save the information before exiting. 
~END

~B XM

The XMIT command transmits files to another Crosstalk system. "Wildcard" file
names are allowed. An optional target drive name may be given after the file
name. 

Note that the XMIT command should only be used when calling into an answer-mode
Crosstalk or Transporter system.

The chart below shows some example XMIT command:

Command         Action
XMIT *.ASM      Sends all the files with the type .ASM to the other system.
XMIT BERT       Send the file BERT from the default drive to the other system.

XMIT B:FRED C:  Send the file B:FRED to drive C: on the other system.

~END

~B XX

The XXMODEM command is used to send a file from your computer to another system
using the XMODEM protocol. To send a file from your computer to another system
running XMODEM, first tell the other system to prepeare to receive a file, then
press the ATTENTION key, and enter the command: "XX (filename)".

~END
