+<sect>Scripts
+
+<p>
+From 1.48 onwards it will become increasingly possible to control DXSpider's
+operation with scripts of various kinds.
+
+<p>
+In the first instance, in 1.48, the sysop can create, with their favorite
+text editor, files in the directory <em>/spider/scripts</em> which contain
+any legal command for a callsign or class of connection which will be executed
+at logon.
+
+<p>
+The filename is the callsign of the connection that you want the script to
+operate on, eg: <em>/spider/scripts/g1tlh</em>. The filenames are always in
+lower case on those architectures where this makes a difference.
+
+<p>
+In addition to the callsign specific scripts there are three others:-
+
+<tscreen><verb>
+startup
+user_default
+node_default
+</verb></tscreen>
+
+The <em>startup</em> script is executed immediately after all
+initialisation of the node is done, but before any connections are
+possible.
+
+<p>
+The <em>user_default</em> script is executed for every user that does
+<bf>NOT</bf> already have a specific script.
+
+<p>
+The <em>node_default</em> script is executed for every node that doesn't
+have a specific script.
+
+<p>
+There are a couple of examples in the <em>/spider/scripts</em> directory.
