- Hmm, an example script for AMosaic off the top of my head:
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------
- .key URL ;there should only be one period "." at the start of the first
- .bra { ;four lines, i.e. ".key" not "..key" - NNTP inserts the other :(
- .ket }
- .def URL "http://www.cucug.org/amiga.html"
-
- version bsdsocket.library >NIL:
- if warn
- AmiTCP:bin/Startnet
- endif
- run >NIL: AMosaic {URL}
- -------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Save the script as "Mosaic", and enter
- "Mosaic http://my.favourite.www.site" to start AmiTCP, connect to
- your ISP and launch AMosaic. You should be able to use similar scripts
- to launch other apps.
-
- Any good?
