This is a dos question really.
Look at these:

If all else fails, you could put all your strings in an ini file and load that.
Note that you don't have to put everything in the ini file (you could just have "sendstr=1234" etc in it).
(ini file in V3.0.0.24+)
Also note SENDSTR is DEPRECIATED (V3.0.0.23) See STRING1, STRING2. Future version will use this to send to port.

Hmm never mind me spouting BS, it doesn't seem to work, the double quotes don't make it through into Realterm.

So use an escape sequence ie \x22 see http://www.asciitable.com/
sendstr="AT!ENTERCND="A710\x22"

When you press SENDASCII this will be expanded to double-quote

As above note, SENDSTR is depreciated after 3.0.0.23, so you should change it or remember that it will break in future.

---

To help in debugging, you can use the INI dialog (from MISC tab). There is a "view parameters" button that will let you see what is actually on the commandline of RT ie what cmd passed through.

Currently it seems that no matter what you do the double-quote is not making it through to the commandline RT sees, but this might be a delphi thing...

Thank you, /x22 work perfectly.
I try to download newer version, but can not figure out yet! could you send
me a link?

Thanks
Lu

Please try the new version I have made for you:
If you are not using V3, install V3.0.0.29 installer from www.i2cchip.com/realterm

Then test this new version https://www.dropbox.com/s/uwci0lcucobdncr/realterm.exe?dl=0
and report back here.

This version accepts escaped quotes like this:
send1="AT!ENTERCND=""A710"""
