First:
I just got Scripit 1.20 (by Khalid Aldoseri), and I have a question.  Does
anyone know of a way to get Scripit to WAIT for a specified text string to be
printed to the selected window?  For example, let's say I want to send a
RETURN+linefeed to the selected window (Handshake) *after* the message
'CONNECT 2400' is printed to the screen.  As far as I can tell, the only
way to do this with Scripit 1.20 is by using WAIT [no. of jiffies], but I want
to send the RETURN+linefeed as soon as the connect occurs, *not* 5-20 seconds
later.  This isn't really a good example because there are other times during
a session when the time it takes for a command is extremely variable.

Scripit is a really nice 'scripting-control language', but if anyone out there
regularly chats with the author on Compuserve, maybe you've heard something
about future enhancements?  If not, I may try mailing to Khalid's CIS mailbox.

Second:
Is ShoWiz 2.0 (or an earlier version) available via anonymous FTP, and where?
FYI, ShoWiz is a slideshow program, and in its 2.0 version it has some extra
features which make it more of a multimedia program.  Yes, I read about it in
December Amazing Computing.

thanks for replies, and email is fine if you dare :-)
