- arx_help.ced 2.7 - by Rolf Rotvel
-
- DESCRIPTION
- ArexxGuide online help for CED 3.5.
-
- Press a key and the script will search ArexxGuide for the node
- corresponding to the word under the cursor, convert it to ascii, and
- loads it into CED.
-
- Optional saving of ascii nodes for much faster loading next time you
- need the information.
-
- REQUIREMENTS
- ArexxGuide (Off course :-)), CygnusEd v3.5 and rexxtricks.library.
-
- INSTALLATION
- Copy rexxtricks.library to libs:
-
- ArexxGuide must be set up correctly (Use the ARx_Setup.rexx script).
- The environment variable env:AmigaGuide/path must include the directory
- where arx_guide.xref is located. And env:ARexxGuide/AGCmd must hold the
- name of your amigaguide viewer.
-
- Have a look in the xref drawer. If you want online help for something
- not included in ArexxGuide then copy the relevant .xref file(s)
- somewhere and make sure that the environment variable
- env:ArexxGuide/xrfiles includes the complete path to these files.
-
- Install the script on one of the FKeys in CED or bind it to any other
- key with a long invocation macro.
-
- USAGE
- If ArexxGuide is already running _or_ you want to view the ArexxGuide
- index the node will be shown with your regular AmigaGuide viewer (As
- defined in env:ARexxGuide/AGCmd).
-
- The FORCEAGCMD switch forces the use of your regular AmigaGuide viewer.
- Usefull if you want to browse around in the guide for a while or want
- access to nodes not found in the xref file.
- I have 'arx_help.ced' installed on the HELP key and 'arx_help.ced
- FORCEAGCMD' on shift-HELP.
-
- The searching and guide > ascii conversion is not that fast. So if you
- have room enough on your HD I recommend turning the saving of ascii
- nodes on.
- All you have to do is edit the 'ascdir' line at the top of the script
- and make sure that the directory you specify exists. The script will now
- save the ascii node to that directory and next time you need the
- information it will load it directly from there. And _that's_ pretty
- fast :-)
-
- NOTES
- Converted AmigaGuide links in the ascii node is shown enclosed in '{}'
- brackets.
