	I didnt see this is the manual and it sure helped me. If 
unsolicited tips are inappropriate, please use a low heat on your
flame-throwers.

	If you send a text file to the modem before you have actually
dialed anything, then the modem receives this information in command mode.
Thus I was able to use notepad to write all the initialization commands
to put my modem in MNP-5 reliable compressed mode into  a file. I then
choose send text and my modem is ready  for MNP-5 duty.  This allows you
a basic scripting capability for Terminal.

	Sorry for the waste of bandwidth, but I thought that other
beginners like myself would like to know this.
