LOGGING ON:

        Our next step will be to delve into the "Logon" process.
This will be our first look at actually interacting with the BBS.

First thing's first..let's look at a theoretical flowchart for
getting logged in:

                            LOGIN PROCESS

                 Ŀ Yes           Ŀ
                  Mailer Running? >Send ESC 
                                
                     No   <
                  vĿ Yes             Ŀ
                  "More" Prompt?>Send CR  
                  <               
                     No           
                 vĿ Yes        Ŀ
                  First Name Prompt? >Send Fname
                             
                          <
                 vĿ   Yes        Ŀ
                  Last Name Prompt?>Send Lname
                               
                          <
                 vĿ  Yes       Ŀ
                  Password Prompt?   ĴSend PWord
                             
                           <

-------------------
Note:  The items in the blocks represent *examples* of things you
might need to handle on a BBS.  Each BBS will have its own
requirements as far as "mailer" or "More prompt?" or "Read Bulletin?"
prompt.  There are likely to be other prompts you'll need to handle
as well.  Tailor your scripts for the boards you call.
