Re: Vendor call returns up to 200 varying parms back, looking for easy way to scan it all.

Well, you COULD call from the command line, it'd just be very awkward :-)
You'd have to give the parameter in hex, using the first 2 bytes as the
length, and then providing (at least) 999 characters (since it's in hex,
that'd be 1998 hex digits) to force the field length to 999.

Hmm... what happens if you don't fill up the 999 characters? Is it an
error, or do you just get whatever happens to be in memory for the
remainder (which I guess would be OK if your initial 2 bytes specified
a small enough length)? If you're in 80-column mode, the whole screen
doesn't even have room to complete one hex parameter. :)
