Nice script! I've found your problem with the interactive quickb protocol requesters. It's just a matter of quickb is an autostarting proto call, so you don't want to do a "file receive" to start it, all that has to be done, is to send the file name<CR> at the CIS file name prompt, CIS will then start the transfer. Then you'll have to have VLT trap for the file transfer done message, to go on to the next map(s). (I'll fix up this part tonight, and if you want, I can send you what I've got.) Another couple of things I see in the script, is that your setting the parity to 7e1. This should probably be set to 8n1 unless you've got a wierd feed into CIS. You should also send the VLT command "strip on" to not get the garbled characters at startup that you would normally get if you login at 8n1 parity. (my modem couldn't handle the change to 8n1 to start the download with a parity of 7e1) Also, CTS/RTS handshaking might be a bit faster than Xon/Xoff. Bob Comer — Cruising the nets on Autopilot!
