lister query all

This command returns the handles of all non-busy listers (that is, any
listers that are not performing a function at the time).

For example,
        + lister query all
        > 121132636 121963868 

If no matching listers are available the result will be empty and  RC  will
contain the relevant  error code .

You can use the Word() function in ARexx to traverse the list.


lister query all var <varname>

This is exactly the same as  lister query all , except that the result
is stored in the variable called  varname  instead of  RESULT .

For example,
        + lister query all var all_handles
would return
        all_handles    = "121132636 121963868"


lister query all stem <stemname>

This is exactly the same as  lister query all , except that the result
is stored in a stem variable whose base-name is  stemname .

For example,
        + lister query all stem all_handles
would return
        all_handles.count      = 2
        all_handles.0          = 121132636
        all_handles.1          = 121963868

Note that the stem count will correctly return 0 if there are no
matching listers.
