A colleague with an extensive Chinese manuscript produced on a Mac (I'm
not sure what text editor) asks if there is any off-the-shelf software
that would let him generate a keyword-in-context index of selected terms.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance.

No doubt I should know this but . . .
what is Chum? Computers in the Humanities?
Thanks,

Subject: laptop telecommunication
A colleague with a modem-equipped Zenith 286 laptop is traveling and has
a puzzle. He wishes to use the modem to make a long-distance call to
his home institution, to log in to the library. The question is how to
make the phone call.
Where he is staying, he can only make a long distance call by using his
MCI credit card. To do that for voice phone, he has a three stage
dialing process: first, a 1-800-###-#### number to get hooked up to MCI,
then the number he is dialing (10 more digits), and only then his MCI
credit card number (including a personal identification number, so
totalling 14 more digits). In each case he must dial the number and
wait for the appropriate beep.
His modem software is Procomm. Is it possible to dial those three
successive numbers? Would you dial one, wait an appropriate period,
then issue another dial command (and would the modem obey?); then
another fifteen seconds later? And how will the computer/modem react to
the feedback it gets from the connections intended for a voice link
after the first two numbers are dialed? It must be possible, but this
one isn't in the manual. (Never mind why he has this complicated
dialing scheme: it has something to do with a time-share resort in the
Poconos where he is staying.)
