The man most directly responsible for this twaddle was Robert Bankston, who
did thus comment on Arexx question on the night of 04-Oct-97:
-> Hey I know this isn't AMOS related but as many AMOS programmers are
-> bi-lingual (in the computer sense), I thought I'd ask.
-> I don't know Arexx at all but what I'd like to do is have a script that I
-> can run from Final Writer which will load all Final Writers documents
-> within a given directory and save them as ASCII files with a different
-> extension. I don't have a clue though on how to do this. Any ARexx
-> literate folks care to shed some light on this? Thanks for the help.
If a program has an AREXX port, they usually come with a set of instructions
in
the documentation files which tell you basically how to use the main program
via
a script.
What they will do, is perform actions in the program from a command-line, pre
set level, so they can perform common tasks etc.
It would be a good idea to study these commands, then make an ASCII file with
them in (according to the documentation) and run it with RX whilst Final
writer
is running.
Ive dabbled in REXX a little bit, I wrote a POP3 retrieval script and a few
other bits and bats, and the programs that use REXX usually have their own
command sets anyhow.
