RTES32 looks for the following register names on startup and maintains them:
Using HTML
HTML files used to interface with RTES must
As RTES32 delivers your HTML files to the browser, it looks for the following
special "tags".
The text contained between @@ and @ uses the same format as the report generator.
The expression between the second [ and the first ] is evaluated as a
boolean. "text" is included if the result of the evaluation is true. (Click here for more details.)
The text between the second and last ! is assumed to be an RTES command.
Example : !!LET HITS=HITS+1!

Password Authorization Protocol
On startup, RTES32 looks for a register named PAP$.
DOM stands for Document Object Model and allows access to every entity on a web page. All browsers support DOM. All it takes is a mechanism
that retrieves the appropriate data from the server and assigns it to the element
it belongs to.
A pair of NAME and VALUE define the RTES command
to be executed.
When that Register is set to 1, a user id and password are requested to
access the html documents via the web browser. The user id must match the text
at Register PAP$ and the password must match the text at the next Register.
If you change these texts, you must click "Run Configuration" under "Communications"
on the menu bar for the change to take effect.
