==============================================================================
= Alpha Commands
==============================================================================
In this list of routines, text between '<' and '>' is a placeholder for a
required parameter, text between '[' and ']' is a placeholder for an
optional parameter, and the '|' signifies a choice of two or more
alternatives. A '+' signifies that the previous symbol can be present one
or more times, while a '*" means zero or more times. Some commands have no
parameters, and are only expected to be called interactively.
The following are Alpha-specific tcl routines:
• abortEm - aborts whatever is currently happening
• addMenuItem [-m] [-l <meta-characters>] <menu name> <item name> - Convert
item to menu form and add to specified menu. If '-m' specified, menu
form conversion not done. The '-l' option allows you to use menu meta
characters as text of menu items. If the '-l' option is used, the
<meta-characters> string is interpreted for menu item attributes, and
meta-characters in <item name> are included in the menu item text
literally. For example:
addMenuItem -m -l "/B" "Hello/C"
would appear as the text "Hello/C" in the menu, and have "B" as its
command equivalent.
• AEBuild [<flags>] <app (name|creator)> <aesuite> <aeevent> [<event parameters>]* -
Build and send an apple-event. 'AEBuild' is apple's code of the same
name. Each "event parameter" is two parameters, a parameter type and
the data for the parameter. See the AEBuild doc for more details,
:Tcl:SystemCode:think.tcl for examples. The flags are '-r' (no reply),
'-q' (queue reply, in which case 'handleReply' (in appleEvents.tcl) is
called with the reply as a parameter, and '-t <timeout>' specifies the
timeout in ticks.
• alertnote message_string
This command will display message_string in a standard Macintosh alert box.
• alphaHelp - display Alpha help.
• ascii (see bindings).
• askyesno prompt
This command will display a Macintosh alert box with 'prompt' displayed
with the push buttons Yes and No. The command will return the
string "yes" or "no".
• backColor - set background color
• backwardCharSelect - extends selection one char back
• backwardChar - moves insertion one char back
• backwardDeleteWord - deletes previous word
• backwardWord - moves insertion one char back
• balance - selects smallest set of parens, braces, or
brackets that encloses the current selection
• beep
• beginningBufferSelect - extend selection to the
beginning of the buffer
• beginningLineSelect - extend selection to the
beginning of the line
• beginningOfBuffer - move insertion to the beginning
of the buffer
• beginningOfLine - move insertion to the beginning of
the line
• bind (see bindings)
• blink <pos> - blink cursor at 'pos'
• breakIntoLines <string> - return 'string' with
carriage returns and spaces inserted to satisfy
'leftFillColumn' and 'fillColumn' variables.
• bringToFront <winName> - Bring named window to front.
• capitalizeRegion - capitalize all words in selected
region
• capitalizeWord - capitalize word
• cd [directory]
This command will set the current working directory to "directory". The directory
argument may or may not end with a colon. The working directory is the directory
in which file names that contain no colons (folders) will be located with file related
commands. No argument means Alpha's home directory.
• centerRedraw - redraw window with current line in
the middle.
• clear - clear selected text
• closeAll - close all windows
• colorize <fromPos> <toPos> <black blue cyan green green magenta red white yellow> -
Change the color of the specified region.
• colors <fore red> <fore green> <fore blue> <back red> <back green> <back blue>
• copy - copy region
• cp <fromName>+ <toName>
This command will copy the file fromName and name the new file toName,
overwriting any existing file. This command copies both data forks, and
the Finder information.
• createTagFile - searches all files in current file set
and saves the locations of any function declarations
in a file called 'cTAGS'.
• createTMark <name> <pos> - create a temporary 'mark'
at location 'pos'.
• currentPosition - displays current and total bytes.
• cut - deletes and saves region
• deleteChar - delete char AFTER cursor
• deleteMenuItem [-m] <menu name> <item name> - Convert item to menu form
and delete from specified menu. If '-m' specified, menu form conversion
not done.
• deleteSelection - delete current position, don't save
• deleteWord - delete word after cursor
• describeBinding - display the binding of the next typed key sequence.
• deleteText <pos1> <pos2> - remove text between 'pos1'
and 'pos2'
• displayMode <mode> - Up to four characters of the 'mode' string are
displayed in the status line at the bottom of a window.
• dosc [<-c 'sign' | -n appName>] [-k 'clas'] [-e 'evnt'] <-s string | -f fileName> [<-t timeout|-r>]
Send an AppleEvent, by default class 'misc', event 'dosc'.
-c 'sign'
"sign" is a four-letter creator signature of a running application.
-n appName
"appName" is the name of a running application.
-k 'clas'
"clas" is a four-letter event class.
-e 'evnt'
"evnt" is a four-letter event class.
-s string
"string" is the text of a script to send to the other app.
-f fileName
"fileName" is the complete or relative pathname of a file the other
application should execute.
-t timeout
"timeout" is the number of ticks Alpha should wait for a response. A
timeout of "0" means wait forever.
-r
Do not wait for reply.
If neither of the '-c' and '-n' options is chosen, the PPC Browser is
used. Either '-s' or '-f' must be chosen. Thus, you can have "Alpha
5.02" and "Alpha 5.02 Copy" sending Apple events to each other, or they
can send events to a remote server such as Apple's ToolServer.
"$HOME:Tcl:UserCode:createStuffitArchive.tcl" contains examples of
controlling Stuffit Deluxe via this command.

• getPos - return the current insertion point
• getScrap - returns system TEXT scrap.
• getSelect - return the currently selected text, if
any.
• getTMarks - Return a list of temporary marks. Each item of the returned

mark, and the start and finish of the selection named by the mark. The
following is an example of the result:
{{temp1 External:file.c 1312 1315} {temp2 Internal:it.h 111 111}}
• getText <pos1> <pos2> - return the text between 'pos1'
and 'pos2'.
• glob [-i] [-t <TYPE>] [-c <CRTR>]
The original glob provided by the UNIX version of tcl was not quite
adequate for the more complex Macintosh file system. Issues such as
invisible file handling, Finder type and creator filtering, and space
handling in file names. Release 6 of tcl has dealt with the original
problem with spaces in filenames, but the following options are provided
to deal with additional Macintosh issues.
Anyway, the new glob now takes several options. They are:
-i This option causes glob to list invisible files also.
-t TYPE This option causes glob to only list file with the
indicated Finder file typeTYPE. This option may be
used with the -c option.
-c CRTR This option causes glob to only list file with the
indicated Finder file creatorCRTR. This option may
be used with the -t option.
Also note that the original glob would skip dot files
(i.e., file names the begin with a period)
in the listing, unless the pattern began with a period.
Tickle extends this concept one step further on the
Macintosh, and skips spot files (i.e., file names that
begin with '•'), unless the pattern starts with a spot.
• goto <pos> - goto the position 'pos'.
• gotoLine - go to a line number
• gotoMark - goto named mark, use 'mark' in macros.
• gotoTMark <name> - goto the temporary mark 'name'.
• enableMenuItem <menuName> <item text> <on|off> - Either enable or
disable the menu item of user menu 'menuName' that has text '<item
text>'. Note that unless the menu is not only created, but also already
inserted, this command has no effect.
• icon [-f <winName>] [-c|-o|-t|-q] [-g <h> <v>] - Having to do w/
iconifying windows. '-c' means close (iconify) window, '-o' open, '-t'
toggle open/close, '-q' returns either a '1' for an iconified window or a
'0' for an uniconified window, and '-g' moves the icon to horizontal
position <h> and vertical position 'v'. Options are executed as they
are parsed, so the '-f' option, if present, should always be first.
• includeFile - expand the current selection to include
the suffix and use the var 'includePath' to try to
find the include file.
• indentLine - semi-intelligent indent. If cursor is
before first non-white space of line, the line is
indented and the selection is placed at the start
of the non-white space text
• insertAscii - prompts for an ASCII code and inserts
into text.
• insertFile - prompts for a file name and inserts the
corresponding file into the current window. Not
undoable.
• insertMenu <name> - insert the previously created user menu 'name' into
the menuBar.
• insertPathName - present the user w/ a SFGetFIle dialog
and paste the complete path-name of the chosen file
into the current window
• insertText [-w <win name>] <text>* - Insert 'text' at the current
insertion point.
• insertToTop - make the line that the insertion point
is on the first line shown, and display the current
line number along w/ the total number of lines in file
• isearch - incremental search: searches w/o a dialog,
searches as you type the search pattern. Does not do
regular expression searches. 'matchWords'
automatically set to false.
• iterationCount - allows actions to be repeated many times. "option-u 44
=" inserts 44 '='s into current window. Also can be used to execute any
function or macro (including the keyboard macro) many times. Defaults to
4.
• keyAscii - insert ascii representation (in decimal)
of the keydown event, plus a modifier string, if
necessary.
• keyCode - insert the key code along w/ a string
representing and modifiers into the current window.
Can be used to create bindings in 'Alphabits'.
• killLine - kill text from insertion point to the end
of the line. If the line has no text, delete the line
and move succeeding lines up one.
• killWindow - kill current window
• launch -f <name> - launch the named app into the background. Note that
for some yet unexplained reason, some applications (MicroSoft Word)
won't launch completely in the background. 'launch'ing such
applications won't insert the application into any system menu that
specifies running applications (although "About the Finder..." will
list it. The only way to get to such an app is through Alpha's
'switchTo', after which the application will finish launching. The '-f'
option gets around this by launching the application in the foreground
instead.
• lineStart <pos> - return the position of the start of
the line 'pos' is on.
• listBindings - list all current bindings.
• listpick [-p <prompt>] [-l] <list>
This command will display a dialog with the list displayed in a List Manager list. If
the user presses the Cancel button, an empty string is returned. If the user selects
the Open button, or double clicks an item in the list, that item will
be returned. If '-l' is specified, than the return is a list of items.
• load - loads hilited text, or entire window if
nothing is hilited. 'load'ing means that whatever
bindings or macro definitions are present in the
loaded text take effect
• lookAt [-w <name>] <pos> - return the 'pos'th character of the
current file, or the file named by <name> if the '-w' option is specified.
• makeMenuPermanent <name> - The named menu is no longer deleted from the
menubar in response to subsequent 'removeMenu' calls.
• markHilite - This is the 'Hilite' from the 'Edit'
menu. If there is a currently hilited selection, the
selection is unhilited, leaving the mark and the
insertion point around the old selection. If there
is not a selection, the region between the insertion
point and the mark is selected.
• markMenuItem [-m] <menuName> <item text> <on|off> [<mark char>] - Either mark or unmark
the menu item of user menu 'menuName' that has text '<item text>'.
Note that unless the menu is not only created, but also already
inserted, this command has no effect.
• matchBrace - moves the insertion point to the
character that matches the character after the current
insertion point
• matchIt <brace char> <pos> - Return pos of matching brace. Recognizes
parenthesis, square brackets, and curly braces.
• maxPos - returns the number of characters in the front
window.
• menu [-n <name>] [-i <num] [-m] [-p <procname>] <list of menu items> - Defines a
new menu named 'name' (if provided w/ '-n' option). The menu is not yet
inserted into the menubar. The menu commands may be nested for
heirarchical menus, see 'AlphaBits.tcl' for examples. Alpha massages the
function names to make them look better in the menus.
'-n <num>' Resource id of icon suite to use for menu title. 'ics#'
is the only resource that is really necessary.
'-n <name>' Name the menu. Not necessary for submenus.
'-m' No menu form. If not supplied, each menu item is split into
words at each capitalized letter.
'-p <name>' The tcl proc named by 'name' is called w/ the menu item's
contents as it's single argument when the item is chosen. If the
proc returns "normal" as its result, the menu item is executed as
if no proc had been specified.
• message <string> - prints 'string' on the status line.
• mkdir <name> - creates a directory (folder) named
'name' in the current directory.
• mousePos - Returns list <row,col> of mouse position, if the mouse is
currently over the active window. Otherwise, return error (catch w/
'catch').
• moveInsertionHere [-last] - move the insertion point to the
first (or last) line displayed
• moveWin [win name] <left> <top> - moves current or specified window.
The window name can be "StatusWin".
• mtime <time> [long|short|abbrev]
Returns a date and time string using the Macintosh International Utilities. The
long/short/abbrev specification corresponds to the date. These are the following
formats:
short 3/16/92 9:20:46 PM
abbrev Mon, Mar 16, 1992 9:20:49 PM
long Monday, March 16, 1992 9:20:43 PM
The returned value actually is in the form of a list. To get text as
above, run the result through 'join', as in "join [mtime [now] short]".

• prompt <prompt> <default> [<name> <menu item>*] - prompt dialog to
the user with a prompt string and a default value. The prompt dialog can
optionally include a popup menu specified by 'name' and the succeeding
strings. Selection of the popup menu items inserts the item text into the

If the 'Cancel' button is selected, the tcl returns an error and your
script will be stopped unless you execute the command from 'catch'.
• putfile <prompt> <original>

• search [-f <num>] [-r <num] [-i <num>] [-m <num] [-n] [-l <limit>] [--] <pattern> <pos> -
Searches for 'pattern' from position 'pos'. The '-f', '-r', '-i', and
'-m' options allow the 'forward', 'regExpr', 'ignoreCase', and
'matchWord' internal variables to be set. The '-l' option allows a
search limit to be set. The search fails if the a match is not found
totally contained between 'pos' and 'limit'. A '--' option specifies
that the flags are finished and that the next arg is the pattern. The
'-n' option specifies that a failed search still returns TCL_OK.
However, the result of the call is then just an empty string. If the
search succeeds, a list of two positions will be returned. The first is
the starting position of the match, the second is one past the last

• wrapText
• xtclcmd [-f filename] <cmdname> [argument_list]*
This command will load the external command cmdname and pass it the argument
list [ cmdname argument_list... ]. External command are code resources of type
XTCL. They may be located in the resource fork of the tickle application, or they
may be located in a file named XTCL File in the same directory as the tickle
