Description of Script
This script illustrates how eValid handles a download process. Basically, the script uses modal dialog playbacks to select "Save" on the "File Download Dialog Box" and then uses a series of tabs and a filename typein to set up the "Save As" file.

Script Playback
The script shown in the table below can be copied and pasted into the Script Dialog for playback by eValid:

Left click drag from the top line to the bottom line of the script.
Right click Copy to capture the script.
Open the eValid Script Window with eValid: Window > Script Window.
Create a new script with File > New.
Delete the existing text that eValid automatically inserts in the new script window.
Right Click Paste to insert the saved script in the Script Window.
Perform any necessary edits, e.g. to remove duplicated InitLink or other unwanted commands.
Click File > Save As to save the script in the filename of your choice, in the test Group of your choice, and in the test Project of your choice.

Important Note: This script is an example and may not work with your environment or setup. You may need to re-record a similar script to get correct resultes.
