print a blank page or give me a GPF message. The printer (Okidata

is a Zoltrix 1440 Fax/Modem. Maybe it is something very small that is
causing the problem. I am new to this and am learning daily.

assistant: To any QMPRO users.
I have a need for TVI950 emulation to access a remote business system.
QMPRO provides only TVI925, which seems to work most of the time, but
gives me some fits by changing colors on me without reason. The supplier
stated that the system requires -950.  Now I have to use their supplied
X-Talk communications software, and I prefer to delete it and use only
QM.
Where can I get the proper emulation file?

check your local computer store and see if they still have it in stock.
BTW i use Qmodem test 4.6 which i free off BBS if they have it or you
can call mustang bbs and get it there free from there yes it run under
both win 3.1 and 95. Reason i like it better then qmpro is that it use
full screen which i like also it is a dos program but still runs under
both wins type. there my two cent worth and i bet you will get lots of

behaves the same way).  The problem is that I get no response to my

assistant: Percy:
        Go to the Configuration Menu and Select Video/Function Keys and
you will see a display of all the Function Key Assignments AND also the
assignment of the ARROW Keys, particularly the 101 Grey Keys.  If the
UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT fields are BLANK then you have found your problem.
Look in the APPENDIX (of the Qmodem Pro Manual) and you will find the
proper assignments for VT100 Emulation as follows:
        Cursor Up       ^[[A
        Cursor Down     ^[[B
        Cursor Left     ^[[D
        Cursor Right    ^[[C
Entering these values should solve your problem....

Are you using Qmpro's OLX?  If you are, then.....
When you're on the message that has the file attached, click
on Message.  Then click on Copy attachment.  A dialog box will pop
up ask you where you want to copy the attachment to.  The default
is c:\qmpro\olx\*.*    Copy the attachment to the path of your

assistant: I installed Qmodem TD 4.6 on a friends computer, with his Zoom 28.8
VFPV32bis fax modem. When we dial from the phone directory, QModem won't
exit the phone book and go to terminal mode. We have to escape out of
the phone book to get to terminal mode, and that, of course, blows off
his script. What do I need to change to get the program to exit the
phonebook to terminal mode when connected?
In addition, another friend is using Qmodem Pro 1.53, and wants to setup
his function keys to automatically pull his password and ID from the
phonebook for each system he calls. I couldn't find the way to set this
up in the docs. Can it be done, and if so, how, and where did I miss it

    If your hangup command is ( ^~^~^~+++^~^~^ATH0^M ) try changeing it to (
DTR ). What it does is turns the carrier from on to off and then back on
gain
. If you are useing ( DTR ) then try the other it should work. :-)

assistant: Thanks for the response, Charles.  I checked the key assignments, and
they were as you have listed.  Then I logged on & for the heck of it,
tried using the control key in combination with the arrow keys - it
worked, i.e. the system seems to be responding to e.g. ^[OC for cursor
right.  Now I can map the keys to respond without the <ctrl>
combination, but wonder why I would have to.  BTW, Cyberspace is my
provider.
Anyway, I am up and running with Qmodem now.

you want them to mean. Use Alt-J. There may be a VT100.KEY or VT102.KEY file
that comes with QMPro in which case you can load it in with ALT-J ALT-L. For
my arrow keys (which work poifectly!!) I have ^[[A for UP, ^[[B for down,

assistant: You can create a script that automatically sends your logon ID and password
each time you dial a phone number. You'd need to use QuickLearn or read the
manual for that. Alternatively, you can assign your logon ID and password to
function keys. Hit Alt-J to bring up the list of key assignment, then hit
the function key of your choice and type in $userid^m for your logon ID
(this must be first filled in properly in the dialer screen) and hit another
function key and type in $password^m for your password.

book entry you are attempting to dial?  It should be there.  I have a
hunch that might be your problem...
        Rather than trying to use function keys, take a look at the
sample script files included with QmPro and read the instructions
provided about the Script Language.  The system variables $USERID will
use the User Id from the phonebook entry and $PASSWORD will use the
password from the phonebook entry, plus you won't have to do anything
and/or remember the associated function key to use....  The following is
a part of a typical login script that I use:
