Consider using a FirstClass calendar. Instead of sending out printed memos and filling out request forms, you can use a group calendar in FirstClass to invite participants, reserve multimedia resources, and book locations. Here is a comparison of the conventional way you may book resources and how you would do it in FirstClass. [Image:92203_31828_0.png] [Image:9203_31709_1.png] Example Michael Green is vice president of Sales and Marketing at Husky Planes. Several times a year he showcases the company's newest products for his sales staff. His presentations usually consist of a promotional videotape from the Marketing department accompanied by a slide presentation. Michael schedules the presentation, invites members of the sales department, and books the boardroom and multimedia resources all at the same time. He doesn't have to leave his office to ensure that his presentation goes off without a hitch. Here are the steps he takes to handle the arrangements: STEP 1: Schedule presentation Michael schedules the presentation in the Sales Dept Calendar by creating a new event entitled New Product Promo. This is the new event he created. [Image:8102006_91145_0.png] STEP 2: Reserve venue Each resource or location Michael wishes to book has its own calendar. When he schedules an event, he simply enters the name of the resource calendar or location calendar on the Scheduling tab of the event he is booking. If there is a time conflict, it will show immediately and he can decide how to handle it. Michael reserves the company's mid-sized boardroom using the Scheduling tab. STEP 3: Reserve resources Michael also reserves a large screen television, a video cassette recorder, and a video projector. This is the Scheduling tab where he books the resources. [Image:882006_33623_2.png] When he entered his requests on the Resources tab for the New Products Promo event, a new event appeared in each item's calendar. Husky Planes' IT department monitors the resource and location calendars and ensures that requested equipment is ready for use when scheduled. This is the calendar for the video projector that John booked. [Image:882006_32721_0.png] STEP 4: Invite participants Michael invites the members of the sales department by entering their names on the Scheduling tab. From this screen, he sees who may have a time conflict. He adjusts the date and time as needed (the booked times for the resources and locations will also change automatically). The presentation will then appear in each of their personal calendars. This is the Scheduling tab where he invites participants. [Image:882006_33910_4.png] [Image:9203_31709_1.png] Variation If Michael has content he wishes to share before the presentation, he can attach it to the calendar event at the time of scheduling or type it in the text box on the event form. This is the event he created. He attached a file for review and included an agenda in the text area. [Image:882006_32224_4.png]

About modem connection scripts Connection script commands About modem connection scripts If you use a modem and require a special connection script to connect to a server, you can create a connection script file, then choose this file at "Script" when you configure connection information. A connection script executes automatically when a modem initiates or answers a call. You may need such a script, for example, if you are connecting through an X.25 network. To create a connection script file: 1       Use a text editor to type the appropriate connection script commands. 2       Save the script as a plain text file with an extension of .fcl. 3       Move the file into FirstClass' Scripts folder. Top Connection script commands Use the following commands as required to build your connection script. Syntax Description Example DELAY time DELAY tells the server to wait for a specified time. The value time is the time you want the server to wait, in 60ths of a second. DELAY 600 tells the server to wait 10 seconds DISPLAY text -D or DISPLAY "text string" -D DISPLAY sends text to the modem for display purposes only. The value text is the text you want to send to the modem. If this text contains spaces, enclose the whole text string in single or double quotation marks. DISPLAY "X.25 login sequence starting" -D displays this: X.25 login sequence starting SEND text or SEND "text string" Escape sequences You can add the following escape sequences to this command: •       \r - adds a carriage return after the text •       \n - starts the text on a new line. SEND sends text to the modem. The value text is the text you want to send to the modem. If this text contains spaces, enclose the whole text string in single or double quotation marks. SEND an63z\r sends the password an63z, followed by a carriage return, to the modem WAITFOR string1 string2 ... stringn -T timeout or WAITFOR "string1" "string2" ... "stringn" -T timeout WAITFOR tells the server to wait a specified time for any of the strings included in this command to be returned from the remote modem. If none of these strings are received during this time, the server terminates the connection attempt and reports a 1083 error (timeout in script). The string values are the strings you want the server to wait for. If a string contains spaces, enclose it in single or double quotation marks. You can list as many strings as you want. The timeout value is the time you want the server to wait, in 60ths of a second. WAITFOR service disconnect "no carrier" -T1200 tells the server to wait 20 seconds for any of these strings: service, disconnect, or no carrier Top
