AutoMate 96 Professional Edition
================================
Copyright, 1996 Unisyn Corp.


New Features Added in Version 3.2:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
AutoMate is now fully Internet automated.  Two new 
macro commands under miscellaneous allow you to 
automatically dial and disconnect from your Internet 
connection. (No more hassling with your DUN folder!)

AutoMate now allows you to insert macro data from 
any existing procedure, simply right click on the macro 
list in the Macro Builder and select "Insert Existing Macro"

AutoMate now enables you to easily duplicate or "Clone" 
your existing tasks for fast re-creation of similar tasks.  
Simply select the task you would like to duplicate and then 
from the "Tasks" menu, select "Clone".

Four new scripting commands make BASIC in AutoMate a 
pleasure to use:

1. LaunchProc: Launches an AutoMate procedure from 
within a script.
2. ExitProc: Exits an AutoMate procedure from within 
a script.
3. ConnectTo: Connects to your internet service provider 
automatically.
4. HangUp: Disconnects from an internet connection.

For more info on these commands, see the "Scripting Additions"
document.

New feature added in version 3.0c:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Command line arguments are now accepted for 
manual launching of tasks.  To manually launch 
a task from the command prompt, simply specify 
name of the procedure (or reminder) after the 
path and filename of automate.exe.

For example...  
=======================================================
"c:\program files\unisyn\automate.exe" sample procedure 
=======================================================
(Quotes are needed only around the path and filename to 
AutoMate, the name of the procedure should not have 
quotes around it.)
 
...would start AutoMate, launch the Sample Procedure
that is included, and then terminate AutoMate.  The 
name of the task should not be case sensitive.  There 
are many useful functions that are possible with this 
new feature:
1. Create shortcuts to AutoMated Tasks on your Desktop 
   and then just double-click whenever you need them to 
   execute.
2. Create shortcuts to AutoMated Tasks and place them 
   in your StartUp Group for AutoMated "StartUp Tasks".
3. More knowledgeable users and consultants can now set 
   up shortcuts to AutoMated tasks for less knowledgeable
   users to conveniently run.

=================================
Note that Unisyn can not provide support for the 
included scripting engine with regards to programming, 
syntax, structure, and debugging issues.

For help with Scripting issues, see the Scripting
Reference Manual, the scripting additions document, 
or press F1 at the Script Builder Dialog.  Help in the 
Scripting Editor is very similar to most professional 
development tool in that you can highlight a word in 
you code and hit F1 to see context sensitive help.
