Other Verbs  -- Not your ordinary kind of verb...

Execute another Script :

execute script: Execute a global script
 execute script  string  -- script name
	[in  integer]  -- delay in seconds
	example :  execute script "Call 911" in 3 * minutes

This verb allows any script to execute any other script.  Note that either the script or an alias for the script must be in the 'Scripts' folder in the XTension home folder.
As with some other verbs, you may use the delayed option :  "IN"

Enable or Disable the Serial Port:

set port  : true/false
	set port   boolean   true or false

This verb is used to enable or disable the serial port.  It is not normally necessary, and very definitely a verb for someone who knows what they are doing...  Sometimes this verb is used in 'plug-ins' which are specifically meant to correct some problem with the version of XTension that you have... hopefully not often?

Send serial data:

send data: Send raw data out the serial port
 send data  string  -- Data to send
	example :  send data "+++ATDT911"

This function is for troubleshooting and special serial port commands which are not supported by XTension   The data to send is unrestricted, but obviously must make sense to some device which is connected to the serial port.

Please notice that you can use one of several serial port AppleScript Additions to send and receive from another serial port ( one that
XTension is not using ).  One is called "CTB" Comm Tool Box...
