Pausechar

Can anyone explain to me what the impact is of changing pausechar from the default (tilde)? ProComm help files indicate it should not be changed "unless you have a specific reason to do so". What reasons are there for changing this?

I have inherited code that creates an aspect script that sets pausechar to 125 and am wondering if this is advisable.

Thanks.

I would only change the pause character if your script needs to send the current pause character, or if you have a meta key with the pause character in it. If your script would never need to transmit a tilde, you can leave that as the default pause character.

If you do not wish to change the pausechar, you could transmit the string with the tilde in 2 steps.

Code: 
transmit "~" RAW         ;send tilde without character xlat
transmit &quot;the rest^M&quot;	;send rest of string with <CR>

Regards...
