Hi,

my reply to Greg's original question might be somewhat late, but as far
as I recall, you might use Reflection (or possibly other terminal emulators,
too) as kind of a "listener" sitting around on the PC side. The 3000 could
use a special Escape Sequence (Esc & o C xxxx CR or similar) to trigger the
Reflection program to execute some local command, script or alike.

Sorry, no details at hand but I think it will be in the progref1.hlp file.

Of course, when using a Reflection process on the PC you might as well
use it for the file transfer i.e. use a little RCL script that logs on to
the 3000, runs some kind of WAIT command/command file (e.g. reading from
a MSG file which gets a trigger from the batch job that prepares the data)
and then (when it receives a certain "trigger" in the output, starts the
file transfer, initiates the local command and the goes to "listen mode"
again).

A long time ago I have written a very small RCL script / CI command file
combo that polls for certain files on the 3000 at certain intervals and
then pulls them over (to move them to some fax software or alike). Would
need some tweaking to replace polling by wait-for-MSG-file event but I
can dig it up, if you like...

Regards, Lars.

PS: I guess other termulators will have similar features these days, too.
