I need some help with Arexx scripts and AutoPilot. I've tried downloading some and havent got them to work properly. The one I have currently is Billing.Ap. When I run it it starts through the motions all right, but the output on the screen is not what the script expects and it stops. I figure that the script is expecting the output to scroll but mine isn't. The script is waiting for ! but I get For more press return (or something like that). Is there something I have to do to get my output to scroll without pauseing every few lines? George

Hi George, I had the same problem when I tried to run the script Billing.AP. My solution is to insert the lines SEND "T" WAITFOR "! 20" SEND "SET PAGED NO" WAITFOR "! 20" SEND "Go Charges" … after the script had accessed HANDSON. After using the original Billing.Ap script a while I wrote a new script to review my billing charges. If you are interested, let me know. Johannes

Have you had any luck with the weather scripts? Zeddock Miller

Johannes; Thanks for the reply. Those extra lines look like they would work. I haven't done much with the scripts lately, but watching AP go through it's stuff I starting thinking about something with "SET PAGED NO", and probably "SET WIDTH 77" might help. (maybe not in BILLING but in other uses). I'll try your lines and see what happens. What does your script do thats different? Thanks; George

George, I think CIS had changed the structur of the billing menu and so I fixed the script for that problem. Additionally the script is checking the Account Balance, the Account History and my Mail Charges and it saves those information to disk. Johannes
