It offers a wide variety of commands using the ampersand (&) hook, such as & WHEN NOT ON LINE GOTO, & LIST (send file to screen/modem), and many, many more. Just ask anyone on the net who has used it -- it is a must if you are trying to write your own software under ProDOS 8. If you want more info, try contacting mdavis@pro-sol.cts.com or crash!pnet01!pro-sol!mdavis -- he is the author of ModemWorks and AmperWorks (they both come in one package). I believe the price is $59.95. UUCP: crash!pro-avalon!carlb ARPANet: crash!pro-avalon!carlb@nosc.mil InterNet: carlb@pro-avalon.cts.com ProLine: carlb@pro-avalon -- 619/271-0131 300-2400 bps
