@REM BLINKNFO.CMD This file is designed to be the receiver of a call from a program, which passes a URL as a
@REM parameter. All programs involved must be in the same directory or in the path.
@REM By having all the logic here the user has a lot of flexibility. Two initial functions are provided...
@REM 1. URL creation. This writes a URL to a file, a messy intermediate step to get around my inability to parse '//'
@REM correctly when passed to a REXX command. It then calls a REXX program which finds out where to create a WpURL
@REM object and then creates it with the URL parameter.
@REM 2. Connect to Netscape. A direct call to Netscape with the URL parameter.
@REM Maybe somebody will write a command to add URL's to Netscape bookmarks, which can be run from here, ...
@REM or a command using the Netscape DDE interface.
@REM You could use both functions but often one will be 'remmed' out. You can change the name of the URL file.
@REM Parameters passed ...
@REM %1 A URL
@REM Version 1.0 29-09-1999 Bob McLellan Created

@REM Create a file (called theurl) containing the URL and call MAKEURL.CMD
@REM @echo %1> theurl
@echo %1
@REM @makeurl theurl
@rem @del theurl

@REM Call Netscape with the URL, Note: Netscape seems to open a new window with each call.
@netscape %1
