Steve, I'll try that. I have my password on macro key 20 (Shift-F10) another macro refers to the password macro key and bombs every time. i.e. I get an Invalid logon message (LOGINE). If I then hit Shift F10 the system accepts the macro. I've tried adding a delay, thinking it was sending before the system was ready – but – no better. I'll try the ^m. No mention of it in the docs I have. Thanks, Rich

I haven't tried having it called by another macro. That could be causing the problem. I'm sure Keith will give us the definitive answer after he returns from DevCon.

Richard I was having the same problem. The trouble was in my wait string (\P"password:"\w\m3 when I removed the colon from the word password (\P"password"\w\m3) it works fine. Note m3 (f3) is where I storied my password. I hope this helps. Hayward

Hayward, Thanks. You're absolutely right. Removing the ":" after the word "Password:" fixed the problem. The entire macro string now works. Logs me on all the way to Amigaforum. I wonder why removing the colon works? I left colons after id: and name: (Host Name:) earlier in the macro string and they cause no problem. The confusing thing was that although the system wouldn't recognize my password (stored on macro key 20) when it was given in the macro sequence, sending the password by striking macro key 20 worked just fine.

Yes, the problem only seems with waiting for "Password:" then calling a macro key. Glad I could be of help. Hayward
