NAME       Seyon - X11 Telecommunications Package.SYNOPSIS       seyon  [-option	...]  [-toolkit_option	...]  [-- -emula-       tor_option ...]DESCRIPTION       Seyon is a complete full-featured telecommunications pack-       age for the X Window System. Some of its features are:	      * Dialing directory that supports an unlimited num-	      ber of entries. The directory is fully mouse-driven	      and  features  call progress monitoring, dial time-	      out, automatic redial,  multi-number  dialing,  and	      circular	redial	queue.	Each  item in the dialing	      directory can be configured with its own baud rate,	      bit  mask,  and script file.  The dialing directory	      uses a plain-text phone book  that  can  be  edited	      from withen Seyon. Seyon also supports manual dial-	      ing.	      * Terminal emulation window  supporting  DEC  VT02,	      Tektronix	4014, and ANSI. Seyon delegates its ter-	      minal emulation to xterm, so all the familiar xterm	      functions	such as the scroll-back buffer, cut-and-	      paste utility, and visual bell are availabe through	      Seyon's terminal emulation window. Using xterm also	      means that Seyon has a more complete  emulation  of	      VT102 than other any Unix or DOS telecommunications	      program. Other terminal emulation programs can also	      be  used	with  Seyon  to suit the user's need; for	      example, color xterm can be used to provide  emula-	      tion  for color ANSI (popular on many BBS systems),	      and xvt can be used if memory is a bit tight.	      * Script language to automate tedious tasks such as	      logging  into  remote  hosts. Seyon's script inter-	      preter uses plain-text files and has a syntax simi-	      lar  to  that  of sh, with a few extra addtions. It	      supports many familiar statements	such  as  condi-	      tional  branching	by  if-else and looping by goto.	      Scripts may be assigned to  items	in  the  dialing	      directory	for  automatic execution after a connec-	      tion is made.	      * Unlimited  number  of  slots  for  external  file	      transfer protocols.  Protocols are activated from a	      mouse-driven transfer console that  uses	a  plain-	      text file, editable from withen Seyon, for protocol	      configuration. Seyon prompts the user for filenames								1	      only  if	the chosen protocol requires filenames or	      if the transfer operation is an upload,  for  which	      Seyon  also  accepts  wildcards.	Multiple download	      directories can  be  specified  for  the	different	      transfer slots.	      *	Support  for Zmodem auto-download. Seyon detects	      incoming Zmodem signature and  automatically  acti-	      vates  a	user-specified zmodem protocol to receive	      incoming files. Zmodem transfers can thus	be  com-	      pletely automatic and require no user intervention.	      *	Translation  modes.  Seyon  can  perfrom  useful	      trasnlations  on	the  user's  input. From example,	      Seyon can translate backspace to delete (useful  on	      may Unix systems), newline to carriage return (use-	      ful on many BBS hosts), and my favorite,	meta  key	      tranlation:  to  send  keys  pressed while the meta	      (ALT) key is held down as an escape (ESC)	followed	      by  the  key  press.  The latter mode simulates the	      meta key on hosts that do not  support  8-bit-clean	      connections  and makes possible the use of the meta	      key in programs like Emacs on such hosts.	      * Other features: interactive  setting  of  program	      parameters,  on-line help, software (XONN/XOFF) and	      hardware (RTS/CTS) flow control, session capture to	      a	file,	and temporary running of a local shell in	      the terminal emulation window.       Seyon is intended to be both simple and	extensively  con-       figurable.  Almost every aspect of Seyon can be configured       via the resources to suit the user's taste.OPTIONS       Besides the toolkit options, Seyon recognizes the  follow-       ing command-line switches:       -modems <device-list>	      Overrides	the	resource  modems.  Refer  to  the	      description of that  resource  below.   Unlike  the	      resource,	however,  the list here has to be quoted	      if it consists of more than one entry.       -emulator <terminal-emulation-program>	      Instructs Seyon to use the specified program as the	      terminal	emulator.  If Seyon fails to execute that	      program, it will fall back to xterm. If this option	      is  not  given,  Seyon  will  try to use seyon-emu,	      which should be a link to	your  favorite	terminal	      emulation program. Seyon will fall back to xterm in								2	      this case as well if it fails to execute seyon-emu.       --     This switch instructs Seyon to pass the rest of the	      command-line to the terminal emulation program. All	      options	following  this	switch	will  be  passed	      blindly to the emulator. This switch cannot be com-	      bined with -noemulator.       -nodefargs	      Seyon  usually  invokes the terminal emulation pro-	      gram with some options to set the application  name	      and  window  and icon titles (those are -name Seyon	      -T "Seyon Terminal Emulator" -n Terminal). If  this	      switch  is given, Seyon will not pass those options	      to the emulator.	This is to  accommodate	terminal	      emulation	programs  that	use a different command-	      line syntax than xterm -- like xvt, cmdtool, shell-	      tool,  ..etc.  You  can use the '--' switch to pass	      your own options to the emulator.       -noemulator	      This option is valid only if Seyon is invoked  from	      withen  a	terminal  emulation program in the fore-	      ground of an interactive shell session.  If  given,	      Seyon  will not launch a new terminal emulator, but	      will use the existing one instead. You  cannot  use	      the '--' switch if this option is given.       -script <script-file>	      Causes  Seyon  to automatically executes the speci-	      fied script after the startup script  is	run.  The	      specified	script file will be looked for according	      to the rule mentioned under the description of  the	      resource scriptDirectory below.       -entries <entries-list>	      Overrides	the  resource defaultPhoneEntries. Refer	      to the description of that resource  below.  Unlike	      the  resource,  however,	the  list  here has to be	      quoted if it consists of more than one entry.       -dial, -nodial	      Overrides the resource dialAutoStart and sets it to	      'on' and If both -dial and -nodial are specified on	      the command-line, the override value  will  be  set	      according	to  the  last of the two on the command-	      line.RESOURCES       Besides the toolkit resources, Seyon defines the following       proprietry resources:								3       autoZmodem (boolean)	      Specifies whether Seyon is to look for Zmodem auto-	      download signature.  If enabled, Seyon will  detect	      Zmodem  signature	and  execute the action given by	      the resource autoZmodemAction (typically to start a	      local  rz).  Otherwise,  Zmodem  signature  will be	      ignored.	Default value: on       autoZmodemAction (string)	      Specifies a simple or compound action that will  be	      executed	when  Zmodem  auto-download  signature is	      detected. This action will be executed only if  the	      resource	autoZmodem  is enabled (see above). Refer	      to the section entitled SeQuickKeys for a	descrip-	      tion  of	available actions.  Default value: Shell-	      Command($rz);       backspaceTranslation (boolean)	      Whether to translate user's  backspace  to  delete.	      When  the remote host is a Unix system, it's better	      to set this to on, since many Unix systems are  not	      happy with backspace.  Default value: off       captureFile (string)	      The  name of capture file. Seyon will write session	      captures to this file when capture is enabled. This	      file  will  be placed in Seyon's default directory.	      The capture file will not be overwritten by succes-	      sive  capture sessions. Seyon will merely apped new	      capture to its end.  Default value: capture       connectString (string)	      The modem connect string. This the string	response	      the  modem  gives	when  a connection is made after	      dialing.	Default value: CONNECT       defaultBits (int)	      The default number of bits (character size).  Seyon	      will  set	the  number  of  bits	to  this value on	      startup and will use it for items	in  the  dialing	      directory	for  which  no	such parameter is given.	      Valid values are 5, 6, 7, and 8.	Default value: 8       defaultBPS (string)	      The default baud rate. Seyon will set the baud rate	      to  this value on startup and will use it for items	      in the dialing directory for which no baud rate  is	      given.  Default value: 9600       defaultDirectory (string)	      Seyon's  default	directory.  When  looking for its	      files, Seyon will first try this default directory,	      then the current directory. Seyon will also put the	      capture file in  this  directory.	Default  value:								4	      ~/.seyon       defaultParity (int)	      The  default  parity.  Seyon will set the parity to	      this value on startup and will use it for items  in	      the  dialing  directory for which no such parameter	      is given. Valid values are 0 (no	parity),  1  (odd	      parity), and 2 (even parity).  Default value: 0       defaultPhoneEntries (int array)	      This  resource  specifies	a list of numbers corre-	      sponding to the order the entries	in  the  dialing	      directory	appear at. Seyon will highlight (select)	      those entries on startup	and  whenever  you  click	      ``Default''  from	the  dialing  directory. This is	      useful if there is a set of entries that	you  most	      frequesntly  dial	that want to be highlghted auto-	      matically instead of doing that every time by hand.	      You can override this resource by the -entries com-	      mand-line switch.	Unlike the command-line  switch,	      however, the list here should not be quoted. Phone-	      book entries numbering starts at one.   No  default	      value.       defaultStopBits (int)	      The default number of stop bits. Seyon will set the	      number of stop bits to this value	on  startup  and	      will  use it for items in the dialing directory for	      which no such parameter is given. Valid values  are	      1 and 2.	Default value: 1       dialAutoStart (boolean)	      This  resource  specifies	that  Seyon should start	      dialing  the  entries  specified	by  the	resource	      defaultPhoneEntries  (or	its override command-line	      switch) on startup.  Seyon  will	commence  dialing	      those  entries  after  executing the startup script	      and any script specified at  the	command	line.	A	      more convenient way of automatic dialing on startup	      is to use the override command-line  switch  -dial,	      which  overrides	this resource and enables. If the	      resource is enabled, it can be disabled at the com-	      mand  line by the override switch -nodial. Refer to	      the description of these switches	above.	Default	      value: off       dialCancelString (string)	      The string Seyon sends to the modem to cancel dial-	      ing while in progress.  Default value: ^M       dialDelay (int)	      How long in seconds Seyon should wait after no con-	      nection  is made withen dialTimeOut before ciculat-	      ing to the next number.  Default value: 10								5       dialDirFormat (string)	      This is a format string that specifies  the  layout	      of  the  dialing	direcotry.  The default is '%-15s	      %-15s  %6s  %1c%1c%1c  %1c%1c  %s'   (no	quotes).	      Briefly:	the  fields represent the host name, num-	      ber,  the	baud  rate,  bits,  parity,  stop  bits,	      whether  there  is a custom prefix, suffix, and the	      script name. You	can  understand	more  what  each	      field  refers  to	by comparing with dialing direc-	      tory, fields that use the current setting (via  the	      keyword CURRENT) are designated by a question mark.	      Notice that you cannot change the order  the  items	      in  the  dialing directory appear at, only the for-	      mat. For example, if the numbers you call	are  all	      7-digits,	your host names are short, you never use	      baud rates above 9600, and you like dashes  between	      the  baud rate, bits, parity, and stop bits fields,	      then you may prefer to use the format string '%-10s	      %-8s  %5s-%1c-%1c-%1c  %1c%1c  %s',  which would be	      narrower than the default format.	Default  value:	      %-15s %-15s %6s %1c%1c%1c %1c%1c %s       dialPrefix (string)	      The  string  Seyon  sends	to  the modem before the	      phone  number.  To  use  pulse  dialing,	set  this	      resource to .IR ATDP .  Default value: ATDT       dialRepeat (int)	      How  many	times Seyon should try dialing a number.	      Seyon will give up on dialing a number if	no  con-	      nection  is  made	after	this many tries.  Default	      value: 5       dialSuffix (string)	      The string Seyon sends to the modem after the phone	      number.  This  string  has  to  contain  a carraige	      return or the number will never  get  sent  to  the	      mode.  Default value: ^M       dialTimeOut (int)	      How long in seconds Seyon should wait for a connec-	      tion to made after dialing is complete. Seyon  will	      cancel  the dialing if no connection is made withen	      this period.  Default value: 45       exitConfirm (boolean)	      Whether Seyon should prompt for hanguping up before	      exiting.	If  off-line  and  the	resource  ignore-	      ModemDCD is set to 'off', Seyon will not prompt for	      hanging  up  upon	exiting even if this resource is	      set to Default value: on       funMessages (string array)
