- There is no need to ever use EVAL since you have AREXX. I have aliased the +
- character to be " say . <Quote> <space> <s> <a> <y> <space>.
-
- If I type a line which begins with a +, followed by a space, the Wshell
- replaces the + with " say , followed by the rest of the line. The leading
- quote tells the WShell to send it to AREXX. AREXX then evaluates the line
- and displays the result. For example;
- + 2+4*5/2 produces 12
- and
- + showlist('L') produces a listing of all open Libraries.
-
- If you use a different shell, you may need a slightly different alias.
