In this case chat just eats the '\', determines the the '$' is not one of its special characters, sends the '$', and proceeds. I do not recommend relying on this behavior however, since it is undocumented. Chat could just as well eat non-special characters preceeded by a '\'. A simple way to test chatscripts is to run them from the command line, after editing them to add '\n' to the end of each send string so that you will be able to see what you are doing. Type: chat -v "" 'atq0v1x3$n1=1\n' OK '\n' CONNECT type in the responses, and see what happens. -- John Hasler [EMAIL PROTECTED] (John Hasler) Dancing Horse Hill Elmwood, WI -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
