Blink Scripts

  A Blink Script is nothing more than an ASCII file that contains BIX
  commands and possibly your messages and memos.  Blink Scripts are
  generated by JLBlink and are automatically processed by the Communication
  Link.

  The two types of Blink Scripts created by JLBlink are UpBlink and
  DownBlink.  A description of each script type follows.











  UpBlink Scripts

  An UpBlink Script file is a one directional Script; that is, the complete
  contents of the Script goes to BIX with no other action necessary from you
  or from BIX.  A typical UpBlink Script is the ToConf.Upb file.  The
  following is an example of an UpBlink Script file that could be used to
  clean your BIX Mail Basket:

  Mail
  Delete 10156
  Y
  Delete 10167
  Y
  Delete 11101
  Quit





  DownBlink Scripts

  A DownBlink Script file works in two directions.  The Script issues
  commands to BIX which cause BIX to File an item, such as a message, into
  your BIX Scratchpad.  The Script is first transmitted to BIX and then the
  contents of your BIX Scratchpad is captured to a file.  A typical
  DownBlink Script is the GetMess.Dnb file.  The following is an example of
  a DownBlink Script file that could be used to gather your current bix
  information:
