AMOS-L

It was on the night of 13-Dec-97, when no creatures were stirring, and all was
silent. Suddenly, Jens jumped out from behind a rock and wouldnt stop shouting
about "GUI extension.." until I was forced to knock them out:
-> Hello..

-> I've started to use the GUI extension (great stuff) but a few questions
-> has popped up:

-> 1) The command 'Gui Title' is noted in the guide, however that command
-> does not exist (Looked in the lib with a hex-monitor and found that
-> the command is called 'Gui Titles')..

This is a known bug in the guide file. You also have to have 2 entries for
each command, where IIRC the guide said you could use just one.

-> 2) While looking in the lib I noted that the extension calls up the
-> 'Gadtools.Library'. Is this a rom-lib (like exec) or should it be
-> in my libs: (it isn't there but the extension runs great anyway)..

It works fine without it, as it is a ROM lib.

-> 3) There's a slight bug in 'Gui Asl', if I pad the path with '/' (like
-> 'ab3:includes/' then the returned filename holds two '/' in row
-> ('ab3:includes//test.lnk') and the file can't be found by amos..

Yes, I fixed this problem in one of my examples for the next release of the
extension. Le,mme get the code...

If A=9
' Grab a file from the user
Do
F$=Gui Asl$("Pick a List of Email
recipients..."+Chr$(0),Dir$,"",Chr$(0))
F$=Gui Dir$
If Mid$(F$,Len(F$),1)<>"/" and Mid$(F$,Len(F$),1)<>":" : F$=F$+"/" :
End If
F$=F$+Gui File$

If Gui File$="" : Exit : End If : Rem Exit

If Exist(F$) and F$<>""
Dir$=Gui Dir$
TEMP$="" : Gui Set 1,2,0,Varptr(TEMP$)
TEMP$=F$ : Gui Set 1,2,0,Varptr(TEMP$)
Exit
End If
Loop
End If

This is the code I use in my MPDMailpostV2 routine, and it handles it all
fine. It also handles the bug for when you change directorys, as it will
only add the / onto the end if it really needs it.

Any other questions, just ask!
