Currently as of Beta 8, MLA will not wait for a response from the console before continuing. It is recommended to use a [[Wait]] command of 0.2 seconds to prevent sending commands to the console faster than the console can process them. <br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;Example.&#039;&#039;<br /> <br /> :&lt;code&gt;Telnet:Send(&quot;Clear\r&quot;)&lt;/code&gt;<br /> This would send a Clear command to the console. Note the &quot;\r&quot; is the return carriage to terminate the command.<br /> <br /> It is often best to create LUA functions to do common tasks<br /> <br /> :&lt;code&gt;function StoreCue(cue)&lt;/code&gt;<br /> :&lt;code&gt; textToSend = &quot;Store Cue &quot;.. cue..&quot;\r&quot;&lt;/code&gt;<br /> :&lt;code&gt; Telnet:Send(textToSend)&lt;/code&gt;<br /> :&lt;code&gt;end&lt;/code&gt;<br /> The LUA function defined above accepts a cue number as a parameter, then constructs the string &#039;textToSend&#039;, which is then passed to the Telnet:Send function.</div>
