-
- NAME
- select -- selection of actions via taglist
-
- SYNOPSIS
- library.select()
-
- FUNCTION
- Select an action for this object upon initialization. See
- documentation of Object's new() and select.
-
- These items are recognized:
- "name" -- next item is library name. Note that the identifier
- is set to the string of characters you pass -- it is NOT
- copied, so you have to keep the string.
-
- "ver" -- next item is library version to open.
-
- INPUTS
- opts -- Optionslist
-
- i -- index of optionlist
-
- EXAMPLE
-
- /*
- * create an instance of the library class and open gadtools
- * version 37.
- */
-
- NEW library.new(["name", 'gadtools.library', "ver",37])
