Some additions/precisions I'd like to see in the TPI guide

It's not clear if ALL command a replied to with an ack or not.
Sometimes it's mentioned, sometimes not.

Example :
Single Keystroke – Partition 1
"TPI still responds with a 500"

But for "Send Keystroke String " there is no mention of any response.
The protocol section does not mention anything about return codes.
Is there ALWAYS a response, or only sometimes?

The other thing which is really not clear is how to send keystring commands which exceed 6 chars.
For example sending a bypass, with keycode :
071*1XXXXYY# amounts to 8 chars

So is it ok to send
071*1
071XXXX
07177#

A few examples of each command would go a long way towards assisting users.
even better, how about a wiki page where we can all contribute?

I'm pretty sure you get an ack for every command that you send. And yes, you can break up your keystrokes - the DSC behaves as if each key is sent separately whether you send a single keystroke with a 070 or up to 6 with an 071. Just as if you were typing at a regular console.
