Hi Rashid,
    Ok,  Here is what Juan P. posted up and replied to me.

    I am posting this to the list so if anyone else is interested they can
see/help both of us with it :)

equate a file to your modem port
example file m;dev=200

>Create a file (file A for example) with the following info (can be done
dynamically) your >beeper number followed by 6 commas followed by the numbers
you'd like to send >over the beeper :
>example 8675309,,,,,,911
>
>Strategically locate the following command :
>FCOPY FROM=A;TO=M;INPUT='Y'
>
>and wait for a beep.
>
>Place it in a loop and drive someone crazy.

>Thanks and Enjoy.

I then tried this and got errors...Juan replied with the message listed below.

>Sorry, there was a bug in my instructions.  The ;INPUT="Y" code only
>works under VESOFT MPEX.  The only reason why that piece of code is there
>is to bypass an Fcopy prompt asking you if okay to proceed if files not
>the same record width.  Do your fcopy manually, without INPUT at the MPE
>prompt if file sizes different (which I think they will be) just reply Y
>to continue and see if it works.  If it works, and you wish to automate
>in non-batch format, you'll have to get fancy to pass the process a "Y".
>Let me know how it goes.

>Juan c. Pineiro

I have tried it with the changes the Juan suggested...it hung up???  I am
confused but had to switch to an emergency project so will get back to it this
weekend :)

Hope this helps...
