It seemed to me that I was always forgetting parts of pathnames when I was writing/changing procedures. So a while back I wrote GetFile.PROC. It worked, but that's it. Everytime I used it my modem would respond with ERROR. Well I finnaly got around to fixing it and I thought someone else might find it useful as well.
How it works...
GetFile.PROC brings up the standard file dialog box, you select a file, and it prints it to your W.K. screen.
But... Before it prints to screen, it checks to see what duplex you're set to, remembers it, changes it to COMM -NULL so your modem will ignore it, types the pathname on your screen, and lastly it restores the original duplex setting. You can then COPY from your screen, and PASTE to MockWrite, or whatever your favorite text editor is. (Already built into ProcEdit of course).
Date/Time.PROC is another procedure I wrote a while back, that lately I've been using quite a bit. It doesn't do much. It just brings up a standard window with close box, and shows you the day, date, and time, until you click the close box. It updates itself every second or so.
Here's a really simple procedure I use constantly, maybe you MultiFinder abusers can find it useful as well. It temporarily turns off the W.K. screen long enough to click on the application directly under, then turns the screen back on again, putting W.K. into the background. Attach this one to your favorite macro keys file or a user defined menu.
(ScreenOff/On.PROC) You may compile this one yourself.
SCREEN OFF
PAUSE 180
SCREEN ON
END
If nothing else, maybe someone out there can use these as building blocks for something much better.
