The command string is simulating the keys you would enter if you were to do the same manually via the menus, this depends on the version of viaduct you are using as these changed over the years.
008 PRINT PCMCD:"KEY /O /P <ALT+F>E":DOSPATH:"<CR>UPLOAD.FILE<CR>#<CR>1 2<CR>O<CR><CR><ALT>":ENDCMD: If you use the alt key do you access the file transfer menu, this is the ALT+F bit in the command string, this changed in later versions to ALT+T, ALT+F is now the file menu, windows standard. The E would then take you to the export menu, field one would be filled with DOSPATH, the next by the upload file, etc.... PCMCD contains the standard viaduct initialization string.

I have found some similar programs to use, but I do not know what the command is doing or what the parameters mean. The manuals don't offer much help either. Any help would be appreciated.
