//Wait for a new SMS to arrive and when it does, store its ID
id = sms.receive()
//Collect information about it
msg = sms.get(id)
 
//Display the SMS content, sender and time of arrival
content = msg["text"]
sender = msg["sender"]
time = time.str(msg["time"])
 
print content + "\n"
print "From: " + sender + "\n"
print "Received at: " + time

//Save its attachments
for i = 0 to len(msg["files"]) - 1 do
	file_name = msg["files"][i];
	file_name = substr(file_name, rindex(file_name, "\\") + 1);
	//Create a stream object from the file
	j = mms.open(id, i);
	//Create an empty file to write to using its stream object
	o = io.create("C:\\" + file_name);
	//Read 256 characters from the attached file's stream
	b = io.read(j, 256);
	while b # null do
		//Write the data to the file we created
		io.write(o, b);
		//Read the next 256 characters from the attached file
