 Scripts Editor

This allows you to attach standard Opus 5 functions to a number of events.
The scripts currently available are:

  AnsiRead            - lets you define an alternative to the internal ANSI
                        viewer, eg. HyperANSI.
  Bad disk inserted   - triggered when you insert a non-DOS disk in any
                        floppy.
  Close buttons       - when a button bank is closed
  Close group         - when a group is closed
  Close lister        - when a lister is closed
  Disk inserted       - when a disk is inserted
  Disk removed        - when a disk is removed
  Double-click        - when you double-click on the main Opus window (but
                        not on an icon)
  HexRead             - lets you define an alternative to the internal hex
                        viewer when triggered, eg. FileX.
  Hide                - when you hide the display
  IconInfo            - lets you define an alternative to the internal icon
                        module.
  Middle double-click - when you double-click the middle button anywhere at
                        all.
  Open buttons        - when a button bank is opened
  Open group          - when a group is opened
  Open lister         - when a lister is opened
  Play                - allows you to specify an external sound player for
                        the internal Play command.
  Print               - lets you define an alternative to the internal print
                        module, eg. TurboPrint or Studio.
  Read                - lets you define a text viewer instead of the internal
                        one.
  Reveal              - when you reveal the display after hiding it
  Right double-click  - when you double-click the right button over the
                        main Opus window ONLY.
  Show                - lets you define an alternative to the internal Show
                        command, eg. CyberWindow.
  Shutdown            - when the program quits
  SmartRead           - lets you define an alternative to the internal
                        SmartRead viewer.
  Startup             - when the program is run

Some good uses for scripts would be to open a new lister for 'Disk inserted'
and display its contents, and to run the  Format  command for 'Bad disk
inserted'.
