MainMacros by Spike Dethman
(Arexx C-net mod.)
Main Macros lets C-net display a random "macro" before the Main> prompt, which
can be simple one-line suggestion for commands for users to try. This mod
also let you replace the "Main>" prompt with text you supply, that is randomly
chosen from your list.
To install:
1) Copy the MainMacros directory to Envarc: and Env:
2) Copy the MainMacroEdit.rexx to Pfiles:, and add it to your P-file list so
that only your sub-ops can access it.
3) Edit bbstext, line 68 so that it reads:
{#0 Env:MainMacros/MainMacros.rexx}
^
\
ctrl-Q, of course!
4) Reload BBSTEXT in the C-net control menu.
That's it! Now run the MainMacroEdit to create your prompts and macros.
Each line of either file contains one complete prompt or macro. The prompts
can contain MCI commands, so you can even have the BBS address the user by name!
It is suggested that your macros DO NOT use MCI commands, as this will throw off
the text-centering routine. (Macros are automatically displayed in reverse
video in a random color, and auto-wrapped and centered for ANY terminal width.)
Enjoy!
