Note:  In this current beta release....

       NT Versions
           File Commands only support the 8.3 FAT file system
           Do not attempt to use commands like FileCopy, FileOpen
           etc with NTFS or HPFS partitions


debugdata(String,String)
        Dumps data via the Windows OutputDebugString to your default
        destination

        a=5
        DebugData("Value of A is",a)

winisdos(WindowName)
        Tells whether or not a particular window is a DOS window.

       a=WinIsDOS("Command")
       if a==@TRUE then Message("command.com","is a DOS window")

gettickcount(void)

shellexecute(who,params,how,wait)
        Executes programs via the Windows ShellExecute function

        ShellExecute("notepad.exe","c:\config.sys",@NORMAL,@NOWAIT)
                                                   @ZOOMED @WAIT

shellprint(program/file ,params, how, wait)
        Calls the Windows ShellExecute function to print data.

objectopen(progidname)
        Creates an Ole Object for Ole Automation to occur.
        See OLECALC.WBT and OLEPOLY.WBT

        ObjectName=ObjectOpen("display.ccalc")


objectclose(ObjectName)
        Terminates an Ole Object.
        See OLECALC.WBT and OLEPOLY.WBT

runexit(who,params)
        Exits windows, runs a DOS program, and restarts windows when DOS
        program exits.  Great for running batch files outsize of Windows.




regopenkey(handle,string)
        Returns handle to key.  For root key use @REGROOT

regcreatekey(handle,string)
        Returns handle to key.  For root key use @REGROOT

regclosekey(handle)
        Closes a key

regdeletekey(handle,string)
        Deletes a key

regsetvalue(handle,string,value)
        Sets a value in the reg database

regqueryvalue(handle,string)
        Retuns valuse in a string

regquerykey(handle,index)
        Returns name string at index position  (SDK Guys...see RegEnumKey)




environset(name,value)
        Changes LOCAL Environment variables  (Also see Environment in manual)
        Does not increase environment size, so to add new values, you must
        delete something first.

        Environset("DUMMY","")      ; Free up some space first
        EnvironSet("FLAGCITY","-a-b-c-d-e /4/5 -Fc")

runenviron (who,params,how,wait)
        Launches a program and has it inheirit the current environment as set
        with the environset command.

exetypeinfo(EXENAME)
        Returns interger describing type of EXE file specified

        a=ExeTypeInfo("notepad.exe")

        0=Not an EXE file
        1=DOS
        2=Windows
        3=NT, etc....not implemented yet.  Have they settled on the NT EXE
              file format yet???

envitemize()
        Returns a \n delimited list of the current environment

        Message("Da Environment is",envitemize())



  KeyToggleGet(@key)    returns the status of a toggle key, either @ON or @OFF
  KeyToggleSet(@key,value) returns old state of key and sets new state

    @key may be one of the following:
            @CAPSLOCK
            @NUMLOCK
            @SCROLLLOCK
    value may be @ON or @OFF


DllCall(dllname,entrypointname,parameters)

    as in:
        Answer=DllCall("MYOWN.DLL","DoitToit","123 4567 'A Few Params'")

        The DLL entrypoint must be written per:

        Win16
           GLOBALHANDLE FAR PASCAL DoitToit(HWND,LPSTR)
        WINNT
           GLOBALHANDLE DoitToit(HWND,LPSTR)

         Any return value by the DLL must be in a szString format in
         a GlobalMemory object.  The Object must be unlocked when
         the the DLL returns.  The DllCall processor will lock the object,
         transfer the contents to variable string storage, unlock the
         object and GlobalFree the object.  It is recommended that
         restraint be used in returning large strings.  4K should be
         considered a maximum.  16K will be very unreliable (3096 out of
         memory for string storage).  32k will always fail.  Numeric
         responses must be converted to ascii strings.   There should be
         a sample DLL build for this by the time we really ship.


IconReplace("FILENAME.EXE","ICONFILE.ICO")
    Icon replace will preform surgery on an EXE file and replace the first icon in the EXE file
    with the icon in the ICO file.  The icon in the ICO file must be the same size or smaller
    then the icon in EXE file.  It is suggested that due caution be used when using this command
    as the following conditions may occur:
        1) EXE file might become damaged and unable to run.  This is especially true of
           some programs that checksum themselves to verify the EXE.  Keep backups.
        2) System anti-virus tools might detect the alteration of an EXE file and complain.
           If this is true, then either the anti-virus program must be disabled, or another
           workaround must be used.  Some Anti-virus programs allow the specification of a
           "trusted" program - the trusted feature may be used with due caution.



SendKeyTo("WindowName","Sendkeystring")
    Similiar to SendKey, but the window "WindowName" will be activated before sending any keys.



SendMenuTo("WindowName","MenuName")
    Will activate "WindowName", Search its menus for "MenuName", and post the appropriate WIndows
    windows message for the menu operation.
