I've written arexx script to get weather form CI$. It worked great until the wx service (or CIS) changed their format (AGAIN!). When logging into WEATHER my script encounters some non-prompt stuff which eventually presents a menu for choice of graphs. I want to by-pass this but don't know what sequence to send with my script to get me directly to the main weather menu so I can select short-term forcasts. Anyone have any ideas ??? Also, graphs are nice and cute and I don't use them much but if I did I'd have some trouble capturing them because AutoPilot presents a requester to save or not to save, plus a requester for a file name for the graph to be downloaded. Does anyone know if it is possible to give a yes command and file name to AutoPilot so the script can automatically save the graphs ? I want the script to be fully automatic so I can run it from a timer. Can anyone help ??? Here's another one: The graphs come in GIF format. This requires conversion to IFF through AdPro or some such. Could write arexx script to convert following the save but can't find my documentation for adpro rexx scripting. Anyone ??? Thanks.

Frank – Maybe you could use AREXX to use a viewing program like ViewTek, which can handle GIFs with no problem. Please post what you manage to figure out – it sounds like an interesting script 8^). /7 //\ob …on Amiga via Autopilot from Northeastern PA…
