- You will be assigned a personal CompuServe number and asked for a
- password. You may also be advised that you can use your name instead
- of a number, but we advise against that at this time, because
- CompuServe customers that have chosen the name instead of the number
- have reported that their mail is too resticted and have opted to have
- CompuServe management change their account back to a number. Also,
- you can change the password anytime.
-
- <> IMPORTANT: The CompuServe file used above is set up to call the 800
- new customer area and log in automatically. Since you will not be
- call that part of CompuServe now, you will need to make a change in
- the ProTERM dial style file before calling back.
-
- 1. With the CompuServe dial style window open, click the "Logon" radio
- button at the top of the window.
- 2. You should log on manually the first few times. We recommend you do
- this until you get used to the log in process and find out where it
- is you want to go when you call CompuServe. Click in the small window
- titled "Logon Macro:" and choose OFF.
- 3. Click the Connect button to dial. After you connect, enter your new
- account and password information.
-
- <> To automate your logon process, choose "Learn" in the "Logon Macro:"
- window. Logon without making any mistakes, and when you get to the
- point where you want ProTERM to take you to on all subsequent calls,
- click the "LEARN" button in the AutoLearn window, and press the
- RETURN key to save your new AutoLogon script.
-
- See the ProTERM user manual Index: AutoLearn macros to learn how to
- create an AutoLogon Macro.
-
- To completely automate your CompuServe calls, request information
- about ProTERM Mac Messenger (PTMM). PTMM is a free offline reader and
- automated "front end" for use with ProTERM Mac. PTMM can be
- downloaded from our Web site Macintosh page. If you would like more
- information, about PTMM, send a note to: ptmm@intrec.com
