README file for QWIKLIST
This file may be freely distributed in accordance with the license agreement
at the end of these instructions. (The lawyers made me include it).
Instructions:
-------------
The most often asked question about WebExtra is: "Can I convert my
WebExplore QuickList to a bookmark file? Yes -- in less than five minutes.
You can then organize your entries among different books within WebExtra
or, externally, with a text editor.
This is a simple REXX script for converting a WebExplorer QuickList to a
WebExtra bookmark file. You do not need to know anything about REXX to use
this utility. Just follow the instructions below.
Instructions for editing bookmark files and archive lists with any simple
text editor are included.
1. Close WebExtra
2. Copy this REXX Program (qwiklist.cmd) into your WebExtra books
directory. For example:
COPY QWIKBOOK.CMD E:\WEBEXTRA\BOOKS\QWIKBOOK.CMD
3. Find your EXPLORE.INI file. You can use the directory search
command to find the file. For example, from the root directory of a
drive enter:
DIR EXPLORE.INI /S
4. Run QWIKLIST as follows with the full path of EXPLORE.INI:
QWIKLIST C:\MPTN\ETC\EXPLORE.INI
The result is a file called QWIKLIST.BM
---------------------------------------
5. Launch WebExtra. Open the Quick List Book and select a URL. The
page will be loaded by the WebExplorer.
Editing WebExtra Book Files:
----------------------------
Entries in the bookmark files are a result of selecting a bookmark icon and
double-clicking on it when viewing a page. You can also add a bookmark after
the fact from the jump list or from one of the monthly archive lists of
URL's. You can also use WebExtra functions to move and copy entries between
bookmark files.
Because the format of bookmark files is so simple, many people have
discovered that they can edit and reorganize bookmark files with a text
editor. Here is what you need to know.
A. The first line is a very brief description of the book followed by a
spade symbol and the name of an icon. The spade symbol can be typed
into a line by holding down the Alt key and typing in 0 0 6 on the
numeric keypad. The name of the icon for the book can be one of the
icons in the WebExtra icons directory or it can a full path to any
icon on your system.
B. Entries for URL's are simply the name of a web page (or any text you
prefer), a diamond symbol, the exact URL, another diamond, the date
in MM/DD format, a third diamond, the time in HH:MMxm format, and a
final diamond. The diamond can be entered by holding down the Alt
key and typing in 0 0 4 on the numberic keypad.
C. Bookmark files can have any name but they must have a file extension
of BM. For example: MYBOOK.BM
The following is an example of a WebExtra bookmark file.
