Hi Bradley,
I think you need to get rid of the speech marks.
Where did you get the idea for the semi-colons? Was it a guess or are you on
the right lines?
I was never aware that you could perform multiple line commands with one
alias, although I would be interested if you can.
Couple of suggestions otherwise:
alias exec p1 ping 192.168.1.1
alias exec p2 ping 192.168.1.2
to cut the commands down a little
or
download the latest version of hyperterminal from www.hilgraeve.com which
allows you to assign macro keys, which can be programmed with multiple
lines. I don't know how long that feature has been there?
It may mean you have to use hyperterminal as opposed to telnet (if you're
not consoled in).
Regards,
Gareth
