[App_rpt-users] Understanding ilink,9 usage

[larry]

Steve,

A Perfect explanation !!!!

Just what I needed. I was trying to play with the 809 command but didn't 
have the syntax correct.
Also didn't realize app_sendtext.so wasn't installed.

Now if you would strap on helmet with memory reading sensors all us who 
haven't a clue could just do a download and quit pestering you ;)

Thanks again for sharing
