I am building a project to automate the process of dialing into a bulletin board with hyperterminal. I should mention i'm a newbie. After a good bit of work, i finally got it to launch hyperterminal, open the appropriate ht file and dial. Now I working on signing in, and i can't figure out how to tell Automise to wait until the curser appears in the hyperterminal window.
Anybody have thoughts how to do that? Does anyone know how to launch hyperterminal with a paramater so I can simplify the first part of the process?
Thanks in advance for the help.
MH

You can launch hyperterminal with parameters like this:
hypertrm.exe/ttelnet address[:port]
technet article here, go down to the command line section:

not sure if that works with dialing thought.
To get Automise to pause, you can use the “Delay” action.
