- Short: Auto requester closer, now a commodity

- Attempts to close the specified window requester by inducing key events
- into the input stream.
-
- USAGE
- From the shell, OkayDokey supports the following arguments:
-
- PUBSCREEN=SC,WINDOW=WI,TIMER=TI/N,CANCEL=CAN/S,ACTIVATE=ACT/S,
- COMMODITY=CX,QUIET/S, QUITAFTER=QA/S
-
- PUBSCREEN is the public screen on which to look for a specific window
- requester. Case sensitive. Defaults to the default public screen
- (usually Workbench). It is also the screen the OkayDokey window will
- open on (unless you are using the CX argument). This argument is
- required for closing a window.
-
- WINDOW is the title of the window requester to search for. Case
- sensitive. There is no default. This argument is required for
- closing a window.
-
- TIMER is how many ¼ seconds to wait between window requester searches.
- 4 = 1 second. The default is 2 (½ a second). Making this value too
- low could degrade the performance of Intuition on some machines.
-
- CANCEL if specified, selects the Cancel gadget of a requester (sends the
- sequence Left Amiga B). When not specified selects the Retry/Ok gadget
- (sends the sequence Left Amiga V).
-
- ACTIVATE Normally if the specified window is found but not active,
- nothing will happen. Specifiying ACTIVATE will force the window to
- become active and then send the appropriate sequence. This can take up
- to 2 TIMER cycles. If there is more than one window open with the same
- title by using this parameter you can close multiple windows on the
- same screen with the same title.
-
- COMMODITY This launches OkayDokey as a commodity with the name
- specified. If you are starting a new OkayDokey, no window will be
- opened. Exchange can be used to control the activation and removal of
- this OkayDokey. You may launch more than one OkayDokey as a commodity
- by using different names for them. In Exchanges' requester you can see
- what window title is being searched for. Supplying only this parameter
- when running OkayDokey will remove an OkayDokey with that name (see
- notes).
-
- QUIET If any errors occur, OkayDokey will not print or display any
- requesters complaining that something went wrong. Default is it be
- noisy.
-
- QUITAFTER will quit OkayDokey after it sends a command sequence to the
- first window that matches the search arguments. Default is not to quit.
