Special  characters are interpreted the same as for	      transmit.	If the timeout	argument  is  specified,	      Seyon  will  wait	that  number  of seconds for the	      string to appear.	If no timeout	is  given,  Seyon	      defaults to 30 seconds.	      During  waitfor processing, characters received (up	      to and including the last character  found  in  the	      text  or	in the timeout) can be captured to a disk	      file (if capture on is specified), and/or displayed	      to the screen (if tty on is specified).       when [<string-to-expect> <string-to-send>]	      Sends string-to-send whenever it encounters string-	      to-expect while waiting in a waitfor command, what-	      ever   the  number  if  times  string-to-expect  is	      encountered.	      This is is useful if the order of prompts	expected	      is  not  known  before  hand. For example, some BBS	      systems  (notably	PCBoard)  change   the	prompts							       19	      depeding on the time of call, and a complete script	      for such boards cannot  be  written  using  waitfor	      only.	      As  many	number of when commands as desired can be	      specified. A when command with no arguments  clears	      all  outstanding	when  commands.	waitfor commands	      take precedence over when commands if  they  expect	      the same string.	      A typical use of this command would be:		      when "Continue?"	"y^M"		      when "More?"	   "n^M"		      waitfor "BBS Command?"		      when	      The  above script keeps sending "y^M" to every Con-	      tinue?" prompt and "n^M" to  every  "More?"  prompt	      until the the string "BBS Command?" is encountered.	      The lasy when clears all outstanding when commands.FILES       The default Seyon files are startup, phonelist, and proto-       cols.  These have to be in the current directory,  Seyon's       default	directory  (~/.seyon),	or the user's home direc-       tory. The default  script  directory  is	Seyon's  default       directory. All of these files and directories can be over-       ridden by  setting  the	appropriate  resources.	See  the       description  of those resources as well as the description       of the files above.SEE ALSO       xterm(1), resize(1)COPYRIGHT       Seyon is Copyright (c) 1992-1993 of  Muhammad  M.

Tha    manual page, though, is always up-to-date.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------Q: How can I obtain Seyon?A: Well, the best way is to ftp to one of the following sites:         sipb.mit.edu:/pub/seyon         export.lcs.mit.edu:/contrib         nic.funet.fi         sunsite.unc.edu   The *newes* version of Seyon can be found at sipb.mit.edu. Beta   versions can found at: 	     sipb.mit.edu:/pub/seyon/new-beta   and context diffs against previous versions at:	     sipb.mit.edu:/pub/seyon/new-beta/DIFFS   You may have to hunt around in other sites to find the most recent   release.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------Q: How do I build and install Seyon?A: Seyon comes with a file called 1-INSTALL, which basically tells you   what you need to do to install it. You should also create a   directory with the name ".seyon" in your home directory. Copy the   files ``startup'', ``phonelist'' and ``startup'' to this directory   (the make file will probably do that automatically for you) and   edit them to your heart's content; or better yet, run Seyon and   modify these these files from the command center. Once you have   installed Seyon, you may wish to browse through the man page, it is   complete and up-to-date.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------Q: How do I use Seyon?   This is easy. After installation, just type "seyon -modems   <modem-device> &" to invoke Seyon. From the command center you can   set up your modem parameters, line parameters, scripts, phone   numbers, transfer protocols, to wit anything you are likely to   need.  Afterwards, customaize Seyon to your needs by putting the   appropriate resources in your ~/.Xresources or ~/.Xdefaults file   (at least to avoid typing the -modems switch every time).-----------------------------------------------------------------------------Q: Where can I send bug reports and suggestions? Where can I get more   information about the development and use of Seyon? Where can I   participate in general discussions about Seyon? Where can I get the   most up-to-date announcements about official and test releases?A: Join the Seyon mailing list. Send a message to            linux-activists-request@joker.hut.fi   with the following as one of the headers:            X-Mn-Admin: join Seyon   That should do it. To get more information about how to use the   mailing list and send to it, send a message to the above address   with the single word ``help'' as the subject and the body of the   message.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------Q: Yesterday I compiled Seyon 2.12, however when I tried to run it,   it gave me "Dial Arborted: Online". So I hangup first, the message   now is "Line disconnected", then I dialed again, still "online".   I quit and run kermit immediately and it works fine. This 'Online'   problem happens even I hard-boot my system and run seyon at once.   Has anybody have the same experience ? Any help will be appreciated.A: Seyon is smarter that kermit (well, at least it tries to). Before   dialing a number, Seyon first checks to see if the modem is already   on-line. It does so by querying the status of the DCD flag (Data   Carrier Detect). If DCD is asserted, Seyon concludes that the modem is   on-line and refuses to dial the number.   Two resources govern this behavior. The first is hangupBeforeDial. If   this resource is enabled (set to ``on'') and DCD is asserted, Seyon   hangs up the line before dialing. The second is ignoreModemDCD. If   this resource is enabled, Seyon ignores the status of DCD and 1)   always hangs up befoe dialing if hangupBeforeDial is enabled, and 2)   proceeds to dial even if DCD is asserted.   In your case I think that your modem is asserting DCD all the time,   even if the modem is off-line. When dialing, Seyon finds that DCD is   asserted and hangs up. However, after hanging up, it finds that DCD is   still asserted, and since the default for ignoreModemDCD is ``off'',   it refuses to dial.   To fix that, you have two options. The first is to tell your modem not   to assert DCD all the time. The command for that in my modem is   ``AT&C1'' (AT&C0 does the opposite), but might be different in yours.   If you don't wish to do that, set the resource ignoreModemDCD to   ``on''. This way Seyon will ignore DCD and behave just like kermit. To   set the resource, put the line:             Seyon.ignoreModemDCD: on   in your ~/.Xresource file.   The on-line clock at the top left corner of Seyon's command center   will tell you whether DCD is asserted (clock running, button light or   depressed) or not (clock not running, button dark or raised). The   manual has more details and explanations of the above resources.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------Q: I get the messages>> Warning: could not execute 'seyon-emu'.>> Warning: falling to 'xterm'.   when I start Seyon.A: When Seyon s invoked. It looks first for seyon-emu and uses it as   the terminal emulator. seyon-emu has to be a link to you favorite   terminal emulation program (xterm, color xterm, xvt, mterm, Emu,   cmdtool, ..etc). This allows for more flexibility in choosing the   terminal emulator. If Seyon doesn't find seyon-emu, it just uses   xterm as the terminal emulator. This warning is harmless. To get   rid of it, make seyon-emu a link to xterm.Q: How do I use the meta (ALT) key with Seyon?A: If the remote host supports 8-bit-clean communications, you should   be able to use it automatically (most hosts don't).  Otherwise, you   can make Seyon send ESC before a character when the meta key is   pressed with that character.  You can do that in two ways:   1) Set Meta->ESC translation to ``on'' using one of the following:      a) the resource metaKeyTranslation       b) from the ``Set'' console      c) in a script: ``set meta_tr on''   2) if you're using xterm as Seyon's terminal emulator, use      Seyon.vt100.eightBitInput: off-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
