    I'm not sure I understand just what you need to do.

    Is this a shell script or a dos batch file?

    I want the script to "Hit" Enter after it passes a few commands....

    I don't have a batch file or shell script that does that so I have no functional example.

    I wonder if..

    echo .

    or something similar would work?

    I don't have a batch file or shell script that does that so I have no functional example.

    When I was still using DOS, I used to use a BFDS util called qECHO to do this...

    qECHO " to <%TMPDRV%\FileFix.txt" CR LF >>%TMPDRV%\NetMgr0%NODE%.Cfg

    You might note the action is implanting a '<' redirection symbol into a disk file (normally illegal in DOS), and the use of a 'CR LF' sequence. No guarantees, but I think qECHO could help you.

    If you had/have a BFDS repository (old file echo thing) near you, then look for a util called 'horst32' (about 61Kb, with a swag of other DOS utils). Or, you might like to FREQ this node for either horst32 or horst32.zip - if you can't do FREQ netmails, let me know & I'll forward it you.

    Cheers,
    Paul.

    Generally, the "Ctrl-M" character represents "Enter" or "Carriage
    Return". Not sure how to enter that in your case, since you
    haven't told us yet whether it's a DOS batch file or a Linux bash
    script, or what.

    Must be an OS/2 thing. I didn't read the kludges in your note till well after hitting [Send]. Thanks for that.

    Cheers,

    Writing a script...

    what kind of script? since you posted this in the frontdoor area, i'm guessing maybe something to do with scripted ftp transfers?

    and here's a simple question....

    they're all simple in the beginning... it is when the details are finally forthcoming that they aren't all so simple any more ;)

    how do I add a carrage return at the end of the statement??

    that depends... some add it automatically... others require something like \r\n, or just \n or just \r... it depends...

    that's a whole other kettle of fish than what your original question appeared to ask...

    what is supposed to trigger this keystroke entry?

    Using FD script files.... and if I add a | at the end of the line made it work...

    Asked it the best way I could... and even if my solution isn't correct it seems to work... :) I added a | and the problem was solved.

    Thanx though
