Telnet Shell Help

[Jim Bufalini]

Don't know specifically about telnet but the way to issue multiple lines of
commands in shell is to use "&&" So...

Shell("Telnet 192.168.168.19 333 && ...<each line of the shell followed by>
... &&..." 

>From Rev the && must be in quotes. So you might need quote & "&&" & quote in
your shell command.
