From predefined variables in the reference section of HELP

%cr a carrige return character
%crlf a carrige return and a linefeed character, together they are called newline
%lf a linefeed character

You could try to #NOOP %cr or these above. I think the preffered useage is #CALL but anything to do with coms makes me timid

I think I recall not being able to use the above to send an enter key, though that may be as it should.

Perhaps you're coming at whatever problem you're having from the wrong direction. Tell us what you're trying to do and we can give you advice about that specifically.

It' a simply setting of some value in pur online editor ...

I need to send this string and have a <cr> after each... 2 on the last for exit editor and come on normal vision...

woedit %1
16
-1

#send %cr is what you're after, I think.

EDIT: Btw, Leitia, #call might make you timid, but from a user perspective it does the same thing as #noop when you're just using it with zScript functions, so what's the problem? And using #call or #noop in this case wouldn't be right, because they discard the return. You could see %cr as a function that returns a CR character, so discarding the return makes it useless. #call is for calling functions that do something (like, say, CMUD's %pref function), and you don't care about what it returns.

I'm not sure if you mean that it's not working entirely, or if because you needed to send two and it only sent one, you need another one to be sent. If you need to send two, send two:

#send %cr%cr

or

#send %cr
#send %cr

Thank You Fang, that was a very good explanation. Sorry for any confusion to the OP.

I'm not entirely what you're looking but if you're trying to simulate a carriage return you can try %crlf.

Can you give a better explanation of what exactly you are trying to accomplish? Is there are particular input you are trying to respond to?

And i can't with %cr or %crcr or %crlf ... any suggestions?

The alias may be :

woedit %1
16 <------ A simple value
-1 <------ A simple value
ENTER
ENTER

If I am understanding correctly the only problem you have is with exiting the editor from the alias.
