JJ> How do you change the letters in the u/l or d/l menus for
JJ> the protocols? For example, I want to change Xmodems letter
JJ> from `S' to `C' and my new external protocol (Smodem) to 'S'
This really confused me way back when, but since I rarely use anything but 
Zmodem, and avoid the menus, it took me a while to finally figure it out.
immediately following your menu definition you'll see a line that looks like 
this:
{setv _mlabel,phld,pcbr,,,,,pygr,phbr,,,pckr,,pmzm,,pxgr,,,,px2r
,,,,,px1r,pybr,pzbr}
But it will be all on one line.  The trick, as I remember it, is to put the 
label for the macro you want the menu to call in the position corresponding 
to the letter you want to call it.
If you look above you'll see that there are commas in that string holding 
place for 26 menu options, plus one in the beginning for the default Enter 
key.
So basically what you want is something like this:
{setv _mlabel,phld,pcbr,px2r,,,,pygr,phbr,,,pckr,,pmzm,,pxgr,,,,yourmac
,,,,,px1r,pybr,pzbr}
Where yourmac is the label you used for your macro.
This is the string for the download menu, I'll let let you figure out the 
upload for yourself, now given an example.
Don't forget to change the cosmetics, that is the actual menu text which is 
above.
JJ> I also would like to know what to enter into my commo.set
JJ> file to make smodem automatic.  I know that it's
JJ> autodownload string is
JJ> (Ctrl-X)SMODEM(Ctrl-X) and numbers.  I tried putting this
JJ> string for my aut=, but it hasn't automatically picked it up
JJ> as the macro :psbr (the macro for receiving files for smodem
JJ> in the commo.mac file.  Thanks. 
It would help if you'd put in actual examples of what you have tried that you 
think should work, that would save us guessing at what you're doing or not 
doing.
does your string look something like this:
aut=psbr,^xSMODEM^x
if so, and if the string is right, then something is wrong with your macro, 
or your label.  We really can't tell cause you've given us next to nothing to 
go on.
Later,
