-
- I haven't done any really extensive testing, but here's what I've
- figured out:
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Port names:
- AMIGAGUIDE.1, AMIGAGUIDE.2, ...
-
- Commands:
- - link node find specified node
- - alink node open a new window with specified node
- - beep beeps
- - close closes window
- - rxs command executes an ARexx command
- (e.g., 'rxs "say ''hello''"')
- - rx script executes an ARexx script
- (e.g., 'rx "script arg"')
- - system command executes CLI command
- (e.g., 'system "ls dh0:"')
- - quit quits
- - activatewindow activates window
- - windowtofront moves window to front
- - windowtoback moves window to back
- - zoomwindow zooms window
- - unzoomwindow unzooms window
-
- Notes:
- - node names (for link and alink) are of the form:
- [guide_file_name/]node
- where guide_file_name is a standard AmigaDOS file name
- (the '.guide' extension must be explicity specified)
- - illegal ARexx commands (for rxs) and script names (for rx) result in a
- software failure
-
