 Sorry my reader and editor undid your indent format on the following.  I
 will make some comments on different parts of your script.  My comments
 may not be any better than what you have done but may give you some
 ideas.

 LR> main()
 LR> {
 LR> str cont[] = "tinue, [N]onstop, [Q]uit?  [ ]C";

 LR> str econt[] = "Press [ENTER] to continue?";

 LR> str buf[30];
 LR> int n1 = 3;

 I would suggest that the above line be placed just above the
 "delay(30);".  This way if the filefind does not find "SHAKEY.REP"
 there is no need to send the "U" and you would not need to send
 "cputs("^x^x^x^x^x^x^x^x^x^x^x^x");".  Then in the "else" statement set
 your counter to "2" so as the down load will take place.
 LR> filefind(fspec, 0, buf);
 LR> if (buf == "SHAKEY.REP")
 LR> {
 LR> delay(30);
 LR> send('Z', fspec);
 LR> fdelete("c:\UPLD\SHAKEY.REP");
 LR> }
 LR> else
 LR> {
 LR> waitfor(".",10);
 LR> cputs("^x^x^x^x^x^x^x^x^x^x^x^x");
 LR> }
 LR> }
 LR> if (n3 == 2)       //this is suppose to start dld on the second
 LR> cputs("D");      //hit of the qwk track.
 LR> if (n2 == 1)
 LR> cputs("q");      //this is suppose to quit back to the message
 LR> track_free(t8);  //menu on the 3rd hit of the qwk track
 Without seeing all of your choices for the different menus I am
 guessing a little but the 3rd hit on the qwk track takes you back to
 the message menu according to what you stated above.  Then you want to
 logg off with (track_hit(t9)).  This seems to be the part that is not
 working I think.  Question which menu is the string that
 "(track_hit(t9))"  is looking for in?  What I am trying to say is are
 you in the wrong place when you want (track_hit(t9)) to work.
 LR> if (track_hit(t9))
 LR> {
 LR> cputs("Y");
 LR> track_free(t9);
 Another way to logg off after a down load that works with some doors is
 to go in to the door setup and activate the logg off after download
 option.
 I think you mentioned something in the part I deleted about the counter
 not working.  I changed one of my scripts the other day when I seen one
 of your previous post about the counter, to the way you have your
 counter working and mine worked fine.
 One other thing I am wondering about.  You have a function "main()" and
 a string "str main[] = "Main Menu Command >>";".  Are they getting
 mixed up with each other?
 The last comment I have is about the track_free statements you use.  I
 only use one at the end of the script that frees all the tracks at
 once.
