- Hello,
-
- I have come to the need of opening a screen from ARexx. I know, that
- rexxarp.library and apig.library offer this possibility, but the
- rexxarplib's screenfunction can not open a productivity mode, nor will it
- show any title on my system. The apig.librarie's function may do this, but
- I have no RKM and I cannot reference the exact parameters I need, apig is
- poorly documented.
- Besides that, these libs, although they are quite powerfull and oftne very
- handy, they are a bit oldfashioned. I have looked in rexxtricks.library and
- tritonrexx.library, none of them is able to open a screen. They just can do
- things with them, but not create one. I highly need a good 1996-fashioned
- screen from ARexx. I do not want to use promoters, or CLI tools.
-
- Besides that, I would like to know how I could create an appicon from
- within Arexx. I plan to add a function to my prog, that will allow the user
- to iconify the screen. This is not that important, since I can do
- iconification as a small window-tiltebar as well.

- There are three ways to get something done:
- (1) Do it yourself.
- (2) Hire someone to do it for you.
- (3) Forbid your kids to do it.
