Hi,
 WK> With the Commo.mac file, I want to add a macro that logs onto a
 WK> BBS such as MACH ][, and have it press ESC ESC for me twice then
 WK> continue..
If you want it to automatically respond to a front-end mailer's request
to "Press Escape Twice", then all you need is something like;
{:"macro id"}             (whatever your current macro id name is)
  {SETV 2e,^[~^[}
  {SSLO 2e,**EMSI_}
  .
  . rest of your macro for the BBS
  .
All Fido-net style front-end mailers send the "**EMSI_" string prior to
prompting the caller to "press Escape..".  That string would initiate a
handshake between the two mailers if the calling program is also a
mailer.
Anyway, what the little ditty above does is set a variable named "2e"
to two escape characters with a slight pause between them.  Commo
represents an escape character with "^[", and a half-second pause with
"~".  If the BBS sends the **EMSI_ string, the "SSLO" will detect that
and will send the two escapes, with a 1/2 second pause between them.
Let us know if you need any more help..
Happy holidays!
Jim
