THE AREXX-MENU
--------------
IMPORTANT: To be able to use the following functions the
program REXXMAST from the Workbench's System drawer has to be
started beforehand!
The ARexx pulldown menu of PMPro can be freely configured.
It may be used to select functions which are needed often (like
opening a Shell window on the PMScreen, starting the
TP-PrintManager, running various applications like DPaint,
ADPro or DOpus, putting their screens to front and many more).
For this you have to use the function "Configure menu".
Within this context you may select an ARexx-Script for any of the
14 available menus which then will be called when selecting the
menu. Many sample scripts can be found within the drawer
PicManager/Rexx2.
These menus can be used in many different ways:
Just take a look at the pre-configured menu and test some
functions. You will see that it enables PMPro to become
the command centre for most applications.
Time-consuming returns to the workbench will no longer be necessary.
Since all menu-started functions and applications will run
asynchronously and within the multitasking environment,
you may immediately
continue your work with PMPro.
You may for example open unlimited numbers of windows of foreign
applications on the PMPro screen without handicapping it
in any way.
The particular functions:
Execute AREXX-Command
---------------------
Allows entering and execution of an ARexx-command within and
directly from a menu.
Execute AREXX-Script
------------------
The appearing menu allows selection of an AREXX-Script via
File-requester and direct execution.
Configure Menu
--------------
This function allows configuration of the 14 freely
configurable AREXX-pulldown menus.
Each menu item may be linked to an AREXX-Script, which will
then be executed when selecting it.
