Hypterminal Help!!

Mar 2, 2008 9:21AM PST

Hello,

I'm having some trouble locating some information on Hyperterminal. I recently setup a session to connect using the com ports. I enabled the capute text feature to replicate the commands I was inputting. When I look at the caputured text, there is a small square after every command that I hit with the "enter key". I can copy this command to another text file. My question is how do I replicate this square on its own? I'm trying to build a script into a text file using preset commands for hyperterminal to run. When I try and copy the square over to Windows word, it simply disappears.

Thanks, but the computer I will be using will not have access to those programs. Nor will I be able to use them. The square box might be ASCII code... when I wrote the first script in text, it looked somthing like this

Run A[]Run B[][][]Yes[]Yes[]

When I copied this from the text file to microsoft word, MS formatted the like this

Run A
RunB


Yes
Yes

Any thoughts?

Something like a linefeed or a carriage return. Enter should work.

How would I replicate that in say microsoft word or excel? I'm trying to build a spreadsheet that will generate the commands with the carriage return after each command.

Write a text file and every line will end on it.
