- Sample Macros
- -------------
-
- Included with Quill are several example ARexx disk macros that you may
- wish to peruse. If you chose to install the sample macros when you
- installed Quill, then you will find several Quill macros in your REXX:
- directory. You may find these scripts useful while working with Quill, or
- you may wish to use pieces of code from them in your own scripts.
-
- You can try out these scripts by using the "Execute Macro" menu item in
- the "Macros" menu. This will display the file requester listing all Quill
- macros in your REXX: directory, select the macro to execute. If you think
- you will want to be making use of any of these ARexx macros regularly, you
- will probably want to assign them to a keystroke, menu item or
- SpeedButton.
-
- · Date.quill - Presents a requester listing severl possible date
- formats. Select the format you want and press
- "OK" (or double-click on the item) and today's
- date in the selected format will be inserted at
- the current cursor position. Select "Cancel" to
- abort.
-
- · EnterASCII.quill - Opens up a requester prompting you for an ASCII
- value of a character to insert at the current
- cursor position.
-
- · GetXRef.quill - Looks up the current word in AmigaGuide autodocs.
- This requires that you have the autodocs available
- in AmigaGuide format, and that you have made a
- cross-reference file for the autodocs. You will
- need to load this macro into Quill and edit the
- variable which points to the cross-reference file.
-
- · IndentLeft.quill - Indents all lines left by one tab. If a block is
- being marked, it de-indents all lines in the block,
- otherwise the current line will be indented.
-
- · IndentRight.quill - Indents all lines right by one tab. If a block is
- being marked, it indents all lines in the block,
- otherwise the current line will be indented.
-
- · Time.quill - Inserts the current time in HH:MM:SS format at the
- current cursor position.
