Post subject:  TWXProxy Script- passing the Asterics key
I know in TWX scripting when you have this:

send "*"

That will result a line as if you pressed Enter. What I would like to know is how to tell a script to use the * key and not think it is to simulate Enter. For example, in TW you can press * to view the Game Globals. That's what I need to do is tell the script to use the * key to access that menu associated with the * key. I can't find the notes I had on various keys, and could use some help.

[EDIT]

It's okay, I found my code sheet. My answer was

send #42

Here is a good list of ANSI codes. You can send any character from TWX by using the decimal char code.

That's what I was trying to locate. Could not remember where it was- drew a blank on it, so i figured I would post. Then as I hit submit, it came to me.

I was out of coffee at that time. That's my excuse :) Thanks for the link EP. I have it saved to file now so I know where it is. Need it for expanding my scripts and such.

Code:
echo "*Press any key (except $) and the char code(s) will be displayed.*"
while TRUE
   getConsoleInput $key SINGLEKEY
   getCharCode $key $code
   clientMessage $code
end

This is a handy routine when you are hunting a char code. Especially useful to determine multi-code keyboard keystrokes, like the down arrow key (#27 #91 #66) or the End key (#27 #91 #52 #126). Of course, #27 #91 is "ESC[", the beginning of an Escape code. Swath and other helpers will block most of those, but the Windows telnet client will pass them on to TWX.

Thank you. I will have good use for this.
