I didn't like running scripts when I wasn't at the keyboard and I was playing one of Farley's rogue games, so there were only a handful of available ports.
I traded at them, cleared as may fighters as possible, and logged out for the day.
I wish that I had tried out my version of the script [longer], it interrupted the other script I was doing, so instead of running a world trade script, for example, it was just sending #145 every minute.
It seems that Vid Kid has the answer all along:

Its so easy, I'm not sure why it was not done in the first place.
The twx script keep alive, replace the Send "#" with Send #27
no "s around it, its the escape character and is invisible.
Then all you need to do is figure a good delay setting and its all done.

#27 seems to work. From the same discussion:

As for all bots with the invisible keep alive, this was developed because a server could have interactive sub-prompts turned off.
This in some cases would disallow the timeout prompt from being seen.
So the invisible keep alive would keep you connected.
