Chapter 1
Mail
™
Congratulations on your purchase of the PalmPilot
Professional connected organizer. This handbook
describes how to use the additional applications that
come with the PalmPilot Professional organizer
package: Mail and PalmPilot TCP/ IP. For
information on how to use other PalmPilot
™
companion applications and HotSync software, refer
to the PalmPilot Handbook.
About Mail
The Mail application enables you to synchronize your desktop
e-mail system so you can quickly and easily manage your e-mail
while away from your desk. The key to PalmPilot Mail is that it
truly synchronizes the mail on your desktop e-mail system with the
mail on your PalmPilot organizer. For example, messages deleted
from your PalmPilot Mail will be deleted from your desktop e-mail
system after you perform your next HotSync operation — so you
never have to delete messages twice. Similarly, if you read a
message on PalmPilot organizer and leave it in your inbox, after
the next HotSync operation it will be marked read on your desktop
system.
With Mail, you can:
■
Use your PalmPilot organizer to send and/ or retrieve e-mail
messages from your desktop e-mail application.
■
■
View, delete, file, and/ or reply to incoming mail.
Create outgoing messages. Your PalmPilot organizer also
enables you to create drafts of messages that can be
completed at a later time.
Chapter 1: Mail

■
Create simple or complex filters, which allow you to decide the
type of e-mail that your PalmPilot organizer will retrieve from
your desktop e-mail application.
Configuring Mail on the Desktop
Before you use Mail for the first time, your desktop e-mail
application should be configured and fully functional. Once your
e-mail application is up and running, you must enable (or activate)
the Mail application on the desktop and provide some basic
configuration information.
Note: The following instructions assume that you have already
installed PalmPilot Desktop software on your computer.
To activate the Change HotSync dialog:
1. In Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0, open the HotSync menu
by clicking the HotSync icon in the Windows system tray (in
the lower right corner of your display). You can also click
Custom from the HotSync menu in PalmPilot Desktop to
display the Custom dialog.
Note: In Windows 3.1, double-click on the Customize icon,
which is located in the PalmPilot program group to display the
Custom dialog.
2. Click to highlight Mail in the Conduit/ Action list box, then
click the Change button. The Change HotSync Action dialog
appears, as shown in the following diagram:
page 2
PalmPilot Professional Handbook
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
The following sections describe the available Mail configuration
settings. Depending on the e-mail application you select, some of
these options may be grayed-out.
Note: If you need specific help configuring PalmPilot Mail for your
e-mail application, please click the Help button in the Change
HotSync dialog.
Activating PalmPilot Mail
The Activate PalmPilot Mail setting lets you enable or disable the
synchronization of Mail. When enabled, Mail is synchronized with
your e-mail application every time you perform a HotSync
operation.
To activate Mail:
■
Click the Activate PalmPilot Mail check box (so it’s checked)
to activate Mail. Click the check box again to disable Mail.
Selecting Your E-Mail Application
Your PalmPilot supports a number of e-mail applications. The
Synchronize With setting lets you select the e-mail application you
use on your desktop.
Chapter 1: Mail
page 3
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
To select your e-mail application:
■
Click the down arrow in the corner of the Synchronize with list
box to display all of the e-mail applications supported by
PalmPilot. Click to select (so that it’s highlighted) the e-mail
application you use.
Note: PalmPilot Mail supports MAPI and VIM e-mail applications.
If your e-mail application is not specifically listed, try Microsoft
Mail for Windows 3.1x or Microsoft Exchange for Windows 95, NT
4.0 (for MAPI e-mail applications); or try Lotus cc:Mail 2.5 (for
VIM e-mail applications). If you are not sure whether your e-mail
application is MAPI or VIM, ask your Systems Administrator.
Profile
A profile contains configuration information, such as the location
of incoming mail, your personal address book, and other
information services that you can use. PalmPilot automatically
selects the default profile with which it will synchronize. If you
have set up multiple profiles, PalmPilot provides a pick list of
available Profile settings.
To enter your Profile information:
■
Click the down arrow in the corner of the Profile list box to
display all of the available profile selections. Click to select the
profile that applies to you and press the Tab key to move to the
next field.
User Name
The user name is the name you use when you log into your
desktop e-mail system.
Note: You may be able to obtain the correct user name by looking
at your e-mail log-in screen. If not, ask your System Administrator.
To enter your own user name:
■
Type the name you want to use in the User Name field and
press the Tab key to move to the next field.

Password
In the Password field, you enter the password you use when
logging into your desktop e-mail application. For security reasons,
PalmPilot does not display your actual password; instead PalmPilot
represents your password as a string of asterisks.
To enter your password:
■
Type your password in the Password field. Press the Tab key
to move to the next field, or click OK to close the Change
HotSync Action dialog and return to the Custom screen.
Postoffice
Depending on the e-mail application you select (for example, Lotus
cc:Mail), you may need to enter a path to your postoffice. A
postoffice is a specific folder on your network server where e-mail
is stored.
Note: You may be able to obtain your postoffice path by looking at
your e-mail log-in screen (it may be designated as “P.O. path”). If
not, ask your System Administrator.
To select a postoffice:
1. Type the folder name where your e-mail is stored in the
Postoffice field. If you need to, click the Browse button to
display available folders, then double-click the appropriate
folder name to enter it in the Postoffice field.
2. Click OK or press Enter to confirm your selection, close the
Change HotSync Action dialog, and return to the Custom
screen.
Internet Gateway
If you select Lotus cc:Mail as your e-mail application, you need to
enter the name of the Internet Gateway which sends e-mail outside
of your local network.
Chapter 1: Mail
page 5
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
For example, if you receive e-mail in cc:Mail from
tom@earthlink.net, the address (including the Internet Gateway)
In this case, “Internet-Mail” is the gateway name that you need to
enter in the Internet gateway field.
Note: The characters “ at” are not part of the Internet Gateway
name. Do not enter “ at” in this field.
To enter an Internet Gateway:
1. Type the Internet Gateway name in the Internet Gateway field.
Remember, the characters “at” are not a part of the Internet
Gateway information.
2. Click OK or press Enter to confirm your selection, close the
Change HotSync Action dialog, and return to the Custom
screen.
Desktop Overwrites PalmPilot
The Desktop Overwrites PalmPilot feature enables you to
overwrite all of the messages in your PalmPilot inbox with the
messages from your desktop inbox. You should only use this
option if, for some reason, the two inboxes get out of sync.
Note: This setting takes effect the next time you perform a
HotSync operation. Subsequent HotSync operations will return
this setting to Synchronize.
To overwrite the messages in your PalmPilot
inbox:
1. Click the Desktop Overwrite check box (so it’s checked) to
force all of the messages in your desktop inbox to overwrite
the messages in your PalmPilot organizer’s inbox. Click the
check box again to disable this feature.
2. Click OK or press Enter to confirm your selection, close the
Change HotSync Action dialog, and return to the Custom
screen.

recipient(s) of the message, define a subject, and then create the
body of the message.
All new messages, whether they are original or replies, are
composed in the New Message screen. There are two ways to
access the new Message screen: by selecting the New command
from the Message menu or by tapping the New button from the

screen keyboard) to enter the e-mail address of the recipient,
as shown in the following diagram:
Note: The address should be entered as if you are entering it
from your desktop e-mail application. For example, local users
sending a message internally do not need to add Internet
information, such as @3com.com.
3. To send a carbon copy of this message to additional recipients,
tap anywhere in the CC field to move the cursor to that field,
then enter the e-mail addresses of the additional recipients.
Chapter 1: Mail

You can enter multiple addresses for this field. Addresses
must be separated with a comma, followed by a space, as
shown in the following diagram:
4. To enter a subject for your message, tap anywhere in the Subj
field to move the cursor to that field, then enter the subject.
5. To compose the body of your message, tap anywhere in the
Body field to move the cursor to that field, then enter the body
text.
Note: If the address, CC, subject, or body of the message exceeds
the capacity of the screen display, tap the name of the field (for
example, “Body”) to display the expanded Notes-like screen for
that field. Tap the Done button to return to the New Message
screen.
Looking Up an Address
To identify the recipient of a message, you need to enter that
person’s e-mail address in the appropriate field of the New
Message screen. There are two different ways of doing this: either
by entering the data directly into the field or by using the Look Up
command.
The Look Up command lets you access the information contained
in your Address Book. To use the Look Up command, enter a few
letters of the recipient’s name in the To or CC field, then tap the
Look Up button. If your PalmPilot can identify an unique address,
it will enter the appropriate address for you. If not, it will display a
dialog, which contains the Address List from your Address Book.
By tapping a selection, you can enter a specific e-mail address from
your Address Book into the To or CC field of any message you are
creating.
page 12
PalmPilot Professional Handbook
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Note: The Address List displays entries sorted by Company Name
or by Last Name, depending on the sort option you select for your
Address Book. Refer to Chapter 4: Address Book in your PalmPilot
Handbook for more information about sorting the Address List.
Tip: You can use the command stroke / L to execute a Lookup
without opening the menus. See the PalmPilot Handbook for more
information about the command stroke.
To look up an address:
1. From New Message screen, enter a few letters of the address
you want to look up in either the To or CC field.
2. Tap Lookup from the Options menu. If the letters you entered
identify a unique listing from your Address Book, your
PalmPilot will complete the address for you. If not, the
Lookup dialog appears, as shown in the following diagram:
Tap to select
Tap here to enter
address in field
Note: You can also open the Look Up dialog by tapping the
Lookup button from the To or CC expanded field view
screens, as shown in the following diagram:

3. Enter the first letter of the entry you want to find in your
Address List. The Lookup feature scrolls to the first entry in
the list that begins with that letter. If you write an additional
letter, the list will scroll to the first entry that starts with those
two letters. For example, writing an “s” might scroll to
“Sanders,” and writing “sm” might scroll further to “Smith.”
4. Tap to select an address (so that it’s highlighted), then tap the
Add button. The selected address will be entered in the
appropriate To or CC field.
Adding Message Details
Before you send your message, you can attach additional
attributes (called message details) to your message, such as a
signature block, or flagging the message as high priority. These
features are dependent on the desktop e-mail application you use.
If your e-mail application does not support the message detail you
have selected, your PalmPilot will not be able to attach that
attribute to your message.
The following message details are available:
■
P riority. This option lets you flag a message as high, normal,
or low priority.
■
Signature. This option lets you attach previously defined text
as a signature block. Creating a signature block will be
explained in a following section.
■
BCC. This option creates a blind carbon copy field in the New
Message screen. This setting is valid only for the current
message.
■
■
Confirm Read. This option lets you request a confirmation
telling you when the message was read.
Confirm Delivery. This option lets you request a
confirmation telling you when the message was delivered.
Note: The Priority and BCC settings are only valid for the current
message and must be set with each subsequent message you
create.

Sending Messages
When you send a message from your PalmPilot, it is stored in the
Outbox folder until the next time you synchronize your PalmPilot
organizer with your PC. During synchronization, depending on
your desktop e-mail application, all messages stored in the Outbox
may be transferred to the desktop Outbox folder. Messages
created on your PalmPilot are transmitted the next time you send
mail from your desktop e-mail application.
To send a message:
■
After you have created a message (which must, at the very
least, contain information in the To and Subject fields) tap the
Send button from the New Message screen. Your PalmPilot
stores that message in the Outbox folder until the next time
you perform a HotSync operation.
Editing an Unsent Message
You can edit or make changes to a message that has not yet been
sent, as long as you have not yet performed a HotSync operation.
When you edit a message, your PalmPilot removes the message
from the Outbox folder and takes you back to the New Message
screen, where you can edit the message and resend it, save it as a
draft, or cancel it.

Draft Messages
There are times when you may not want to immediately send a
message you have composed — for example, you may want to add
additional information before sending it. Your PalmPilot enables
you to save such messages as drafts. Draft messages are stored in
the Draft folder until you are ready to edit them. Once edited, a
draft becomes a new message again.
Note: You can also save a message as a draft by canceling it.
When you cancel a message, your PalmPilot displays a dialog,
asking you if you want to save the message as a draft. If you tap
the Yes button, your PalmPilot will save your message as a draft.
To save a message as a draft:
1. From the New Message screen, tap the Menu button to
display the Mail menu options.
2. From the Message menu, tap the Save Draft command. Your
PalmPilot saves the message as a draft and immediately moves
it to the Draft folder.
To edit a message saved as a draft:
1. Tap the word in the right corner of the header. A folder pick
list appears.
2. Tap Draft. The Message List will display the messages
contained in the Draft folder.
3. Tap the entry of the draft you want to display, as shown in the
following diagram:

Tap to select
Tap to edit draft in the
New Message screen
4. Tap the Edit button. Your PalmPilot moves your draft to the
New Message screen.
Once your draft is displayed in the New Message screen, your
message changes from a draft to a new message. As such, you
must save it again as a draft to return it to the Draft folder, or tap
the Send button to move the message to your Outbox folder if you
are now ready to send it.
Filing a Message
Any message that you receive or create can be stored as a filed
message on your PalmPilot. The contents of this folder are not
automatically synchronized to your desktop e-mail system during a
HotSync operation. However, your PalmPilot does store a back-up
copy of the Filed folder on your desktop hard drive.
To file a message:
1. From the message view of the message, tap the Menu button
to display the Mail menu options.
2. From the Message menu, tap the File command. Your
PalmPilot saves the message as a filed message, and moves it
from its previous folder to the Filed folder.
3. Tap the Done button to confirm your selection and close the
message view.

HotSync Options
HotSync Options enable you to control what messages are
synchronized between your PC and your PalmPilot. There may be
times when downloading all of your messages is inconvenient.
With HotSync Options, you can select which messages are
downloaded during synchronization and manage your e-mail more
effectively. In addition, you can define different settings for local
and remote synchronization. Once defined, your PalmPilot
determines if synchronization is occurring locally or remotely and
uses the appropriate HotSync Options settings.

To select a filtering option:
1. Tap the filtering option you want to select. The following
filtering options are available:
■
All. This setting means that during synchronization all of the
messages in your desktop e-mail inbox will be synchronized
with your PalmPilot and that all messages in your PalmPilot
outbox will be sent to your desktop e-mail application.
Note: The All setting does not mean that all information
included in each message will be downloaded to your
PalmPilot. Truncation settings for long messages still apply.
How to truncate long messages will be explained in a following
section. Also, Mail never downloads any attachments to your
PalmPilot. The message and any text information appear, but
the attachment is left on your desktop e-mail system.
■
■
Send Only. This settings means that during synchronization
only the messages in your PalmPilot Outbox will be sent to
your desktop e-mail application.
Filter. This settings means that during synchronization all
messages in your PalmPilot Outbox will be sent to your
desktop e-mail application but that only messages in your
remote e-mail inbox meeting specific criteria will be
synchronized with your PalmPilot. When you select the Filter
setting, the HotSync Options dialog changes to display
additional filter settings. These specialized filter settings will
be explained in the following section.
2. If you have selected either All or Send Only, tap the OK button
to confirm your selection and close the HotSync Options
dialog.
Creating Specialized Filters
You can create specialized filters to control the type of messages
that are downloaded to your PalmPilot during synchronization.
page 26
PalmPilot Professional Handbook
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Specialized filters work on the premise of ignoring or retrieving
messages that contain specific information in their header fields.
To create a specialized filter, you must decide whether you want to
ignore or retrieve certain messages. Then, based on that decision,
you must tell your PalmPilot what it needs to look for in the To,
From, and/ or Subject header fields to single out those messages.
You use the Additional Filter settings from the HotSync Options
dialog to define the elements of a specialized filter.
To access the additional filter settings:
■
From the HotSync Options dialog, tap the Filter setting. The
HotSync Options dialog changes to display additional filter
settings, as shown in the following diagram:
Tap here to display
Filter options
Ignoring or Receiving Messages
The first step in establishing a specialized filter is to determine
whether you want to ignore or retrieve certain messages. In
general, you control the amount of mail you receive during
synchronization by selecting either to ignore or retrieve messages
that match the information you specify.
Chapter 1: Mail
page 27
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
To define whether to ignore or receive
messages:
1. In the HotSync Options dialog, tap the “Ignore Messages
Containing” text. A pick list appears, as shown in the
following diagram:
Tap here
Select fitering option
2. Tap to select a filtering option. The following settings are
available:
■
Ignore Messages Containing. When you select this setting,
you are telling your PalmPilot to exclude only the messages
that meet the defined criteria and download all other messages
during synchronization. In general, this filter allows more
mail to be downloaded during synchronization because it is
only blocking the one defined subset of mail.
■
Retrieve Only Messages Containing. When you select this
setting, you are telling your PalmPilot to exclude every message
during synchronization that does not meet the defined criteria.
This filter has the potential of blocking more mail during
synchronization because it allows only one subset of mail to be
downloaded.
Defining Filter Strings
Messages are filtered on the basis of the information contained in
their To, From, and/ or Subject header fields. The information that
defines what your PalmPilot is looking for is called a filter string.
You create a filter string by listing the words you want your
PalmPilot to find, separated by either a comma or a space. Each
word in the PalmPilot organizer’s filter string is joined by an
page 28
PalmPilot Professional Handbook
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
implicit OR; because of this, you should not enter connecting
words, such as AND or OR.
To create a more complex filter, you can define filter strings for
the To, From, and Subject fields simultaneously. Your PalmPilot
joins the filter strings for these fields using an implicit AND. Once
again, you should not add connecting words. Your PalmPilot will
do that for you.
For example, suppose you want to receive only messages from
John Smith (jsmith@aol.com) or Jack Jones (jjones@aol.com)
concerning the Apollo Project. You would create the following
filter strings:
To filter string: jsmith@aol.com, jjones@aol.com
Subject filter string: Apollo Project
Your PalmPilot interprets this as, “Accept messages about the
Apollo Project from John Smith or Jack Jones. Do not accept
messages from other people. Do not accept messages from John
or Jack about any other subject.”
When you define a string, note that your PalmPilot will search for
any instance of that collection of characters. For example, if you
create a filter where only messages containing the string “info” are
retrieved, PalmPilot considers “info,” “rainforest,” and “kinfolk,”
appropriate matches.
To define filter strings:
1. In the HotSync Options dialog, tap the line that corresponds to
a specific header field. A cursor appears at the beginning of
that line, representing the point where new text will appear, as
shown in the following diagram:
Chapter 1: Mail
page 29
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Tap here to insert cursor
2. Use the stylus to write Graffiti character strokes (or the on-
screen keyboard) to define your filter string for the selected
header field.
Note: Use commas or spaces to separate words in a string. Do
not add connecting words, such as AND or OR, between
words in a string.
3. If your string exceeds the length of the field, tap the name of
the field to display the Notes screen for that header field, as
shown in the following diagram:
Tap here
Enter filter data
Tap Done to return
to HotSync Options dialog
For more information about header field Notes screens, refer
to the section, Creating a Message. Tap the Done button to
return to the HotSync Options dialog.
4. Tap the OK button to confirm your filter strings and close the
HotSync Options dialog.

3. Tap OK to confirm your selection and close the HotSync
Options dialog.
Note: This setting is applicable only if your e-mail application has
the capacity to flag high priority messages.
Truncating Messages
The Truncate feature lets you set a point at which long messages
are truncated when downloaded to your PalmPilot. By default, this
value is 4000 characters. By truncating long messages, you reduce
the time it takes to synchronize your desktop e-mail and PalmPilot
Mail as well as the amount of storage space e-mail uses in your
PalmPilot.
Note: Truncation is separate and independent from filtering.

PalmPilot™ TCP/IP Software
Your PalmPilot 2.0 operating system comes with TCP/ IP software
that enables you to connect with Internet Service Providers (ISPs)
or dial-in (remote access) servers. Because the TCP/ IP software
is a feature of the operating system, you configure all parameters
relating to it from the Preferences application.
To use PalmPilot TCP/ IP, you must configure the Modem
Preferences and the Network Preferences settings. When this is
complete, you can establish a PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) or
SLIP (Serial Line Internet Protocol) connection with your ISP or
dial-in server either by using menu commands from the Network
Preferences screen or by using a third-party application.
PalmPilot TCP/ IP provides the ability to connect to your ISP or
dial-in server, however, it does not come with any applications to
view the transmitted data. Third party applications that take
advantage of TCP/ IP are documented on the PalmPilot website
(http:/ / www.palmpilot.com). Check this site for details.
Configuring Network Preferences Settings
Before you can use PalmPilot TCP/ IP, you must configure the
Modem Preferences and the Network Preferences settings.
Modem Preferences settings enable your PalmPilot connected
organizer to use an external modem (such as the PalmPilot
Modem) to communicate with remote devices, such as your
desktop if you are away on travel or your ISP server. For a
complete explanation on how to configure Modem Preferences
parameters, refer to the PalmPilot Handbook.
The Network Preferences settings apply specifically to TCP/ IP
and are based on the concept of service templates. Service
templates are a set of ISP or dial-in server configuration settings
you can create, save, and reuse. Your PalmPilot comes with a
number of service templates already installed; available service
templates are listed in the Service pick list.

Defining Primary and Secondary DNS
The Domain Naming System (DNS) is a mechanism in the
Internet for translating the names of host computers into IP
addresses. When you enter a DNS number (or IP address), you
are identifying a specific server that handles the translation
services.
Each IP address has four sections, separated by periods. In the
Details dialog, you enter each section separately. Each section of
an IP address is made up of a number from 0 to 255; numbers are
the only allowable characters in this field.
Note: Ask your Internet Service Provider or your System
Administrator for the correct Primary or Secondary DNS IP
numbers.
Tip: Many systems do not require that you enter a DNS. If you
are not sure, leave the DNS field blank.
To enter a primary and secondary DNS:

IP Address
Everyone who logs on to the Internet needs to have a unique
identifier (an IP address), whether permanent or temporary.
Some networks dynamically assign a temporary IP address when
clients log on; others do not. The IP Address field lets you identify
whether your network provides automatic (dynamic) temporary IP
addressing.
Note: If your IP address is permanently assigned, you will need to
get that information from your System Administrator. If you are
not sure, select Automatic.
To identify dynamic IP addressing:
■
Tap the IP Address: Automatic checkbox (so that it’s
checked), as shown in the following diagram:

TCP/IP Troubleshooting
If you are having a problem with establishing a network
connection using PalmPilot TCP/ IP, check this section and try the
suggestions listed.
Displaying expanded Service Connection Progress messages:
If you are having a problem connecting to your ISP or dial-in
server, it’s helpful to identify at what point in the log-on procedure
the connection fails. An easy way to do this is to display the
expanded Service Connection Progress messages. Expanded
Service Connection messages describe the current stage of the
log-on procedure. Press the Scroll Down button at any point
during log-on to display these messages.
Viewing the Network Log:
If viewing the expanded Service Connection Progress messages
does not give you enough information to find out why you cannot
connect to your ISP or dial-in server, take a look at the Network
Log. The Network log is a listing of all of the communication that
occurs between your modem and your dial-in server during the
log-on procedure. The information displayed in the Network log
will help your ISP or your System Administrator pinpoint where in
the log-on procedure communication is failing and why.
To view the Network Log:
1. From the Network Preferences screen, tap the View Log
command from the Options menu. The Network Log screen
appears.
2. Tap the up and down arrows of the scroll bar to see the entire
contents of the Network Log.
3. When you are finished, tap the Done button to return to the
Network Preferences screen.

Adding a DNS Number:
If your ISP or dial-in server requires a DNS number and you have
not entered that information in the Network Preferences screen, it
will only appear that you have successfully logged on to your
network. When you try to use an application or look up
information, the connection will fail. If this occurs, try adding a
DNS number. Ask your ISP or your System Administrator for the
correct Primary and Secondary DNS IP numbers.

Appendix A: Non-ASCII Characters for Login Scripts
Note: The following information is provided to create custom login
scripts that require non-ASCII characters. It is provided for the
advanced user who understands the use and requirements of such
characters in a custom login script.
Use of ^char
You may use the caret ( ^ ) to transmit ASCII command
characters. If you send ^char, and the ASCII value of char is
between @ and _, then the character is automatically translated to
a single-byte value between 0 and 31. For example, ^M is
converted to a carriage return. If char is a value between a and z,
then the character sequence is translated to a single-byte value
between 1 and 26. If char is any other value, then the character
sequence is not subject to any special processing.
For example, the string “Joe^M” transmits Joe, followed by a
carriage return.
Carriage Return and Line Feed
You may include carriage return and line feed commands as part
of the login script, when entered in the following format:
<cr>
<lf>
Sends or receives a carriage return
Sends or receives a line feed.
For example, the string “waitfor Joe<cr><lf>” waits to receive Joe
followed by a carriage return and line feed from the remote
computer before executing the next command in the script.
Literal Characters
The backslash ( \ ) character defines that the next character is
transmitted as a literal character, and is not subject to any special
processing ordinarily associated with that character.
