Stanley,

USER commands can seem to be a strange animal when you first start to use
them.

On very simple terms write a script that runs in a loop, waits for input,
sent from filePro, and then sends output, read by filePro and it runs until
you send it an input that triggers into stop or your filePro processing
ends which in turn stops the user program.

As I said, this is in very simple terms!
