- A viewer could have an allow-list or deny-list that would decide
- whether to allow the commands based on the document name, maybe. It
- isn't that safe tho, but better than a total on/off switch I guess.
-
- BTW, I tried to use @onopen in a Browse.DaFTP, an ARexx script that
- shows latest Aminet files in an AmigaGuide document and lets you
- choose what to download. It seems that when ran with
- amigaguide.library ARexx function host shownode(), or by showing the
- document in MultiView, amigaguide somehow manages to disable
- ADDRESS. That is, @onopen 'address ....' or @open foo.rexx, with
- address used within, won't work (the port name seems to be replaced
- with the document name). However, when I show an amigaguide.datatype
- object in a window, @onopen is unrestricted. I wonder what's the deal
- here.
