I use LCTERM script files to log onto Compuserve. After my modem connects I have to send a Control-C to clear the line and get the "User ID:" prompt. So I put a control-C character at that point in the script file, expecting that it be sent down the line like the other characters not preceded by a sharp sign ("). It isn't. I realize control-C is a rather special character, so I shouldn't be surprised that LCTERM doesn't send it. But is there any way to get around this, by "quoting" the control-C or using a script command? The only thing I've found that works is to wait till the script dials and connects, then type a control-C on the keyboard. THAT one is sent, and the rest of the script works fine after that. But I'd rather not have to watch the thing run!
