Thanks for replying.
I found a solution to what I need, but I'm still curious about the
possibility I asked about. So here's what I want to do:
I use Ced as editor for Arexx scripts.
I'm building a help system for Arexx scripting with Ced,
including the possibility of including some already made parts and/or
procedures in the text I'm editing.
I have amiga.guide files of my dirs containing those procedures, and I
use Multiview to list them, so every node of the guide points really
to a file (and a procedure or script part). If I click the node button, I
can read it. But what if I want to load it into Ced directly from the
guide? I would need to get the name of any and every node (corresponding to a
file) and to include a "load button", so that the
procedure contained in the node would be loaded into Ced.
I think I cannot do it from multiview, unless there's something to
help me at the time of building the guide...
So, instead of a button "load file %f" (for example), I must include
one button for each line (=file), with the "same" script, except that the
filename changes in every script. This is not practical at all. The
solution I envisage now is to save the file from multiview (after
clicking in the node, of course) and then load it (include it) from Ced,
using always the same filename when saving. Instead of doing it from
multiview (from within the guide I'm reading), I have to do it from
another Ced macro. Or I can use any listview to list the directory and
select the procedure I want to load into Ced. But that's not either
from within the guide.
While I'm at it, and since you're experienced with making guides, do
you know why the multiview ARexx "saveas" command doesn't work if you
specify the filename? I.e, "saveas" brings up a file requester, but
"saveas filename" or 'saveas "filename"' doesn't save anything at
all...
