PopScreen
A small popscreen utility for scripts
Version 40.1 - (5.6.01)
(C) H. van der Ree <hivdree@uwnet.nl>
PopScreen is a small tool that can be used in scripts to get the
publicscreen you started from, back in front.
I wrote this because GenesisRA from OS 3.9 will not open it's window
on any other screen than Workbench.
REQUIREMENTS:
OS 2.04 or better. It is tested on OS 3.1 and OS 3.9.
INSTALLATION:
Copy it to C:, that all.
USAGE:
The template is: PopScreen PUBSCREEN,TO/K.
A simple 'PopScreen' will print the name of the screen you are on
to stdout.
PUBSCREEN is the name of the screen you want to pop in front of all
others, the name is case-insensitive.
TO varname will save the name of the screen you are on to the global
variable 'varname'
An example of script use:
<snip>
popscreen to MyOldScreen
; the rest of your script
popscreen $MyOldScreen
unsetenv MyOldScreen
<snip>
It can be used in AREXX scripts too.
BUGS:
None that I know off.
HISTORY:
40.1 - 05.06.01 First version.
