- ARexx_TTX: Definition file and a useful macro for developing ARexx Scripts
- Author: Roberto Fabbri, fabbri@dimi.uniud.it
- Distribution: Freely distributable. Just do what you want with it and modify it to suit your needs.
-
- REQUIREMENTS:
-
- AmigaDos 2.04 or higher
- TurboText 2.0 (I've tried it only with this version, sorry)
- ARexx
-
- RECOMMENDED:
-
- The great ARexxGuide 2.0 by Robin Evans
-
- SETUP:
-
- Just copy the two directories to your TURBOTEXT: directory.
- The ARexx commands (Rx, Tcc, Tco, Ts, Te, ecc.) must be in your current path.
- Set your TTX_Setup.dfn to load the definition file TTX_Develop_ARexx.dfn in this way:
-
- LINKS:
- TURBOTEXT:Support/TTX_Develop_ARexx.dfn
- #
-
- Exit and reenter TTX and you must have a new menu to the right: DEVELOPMENT (you don't like
- the name? Put there what you want :)).
-
- DOCUMENTATION:
-
- ARexx Reference (ALT HELP): This command calls the great ARexxGuide on the term currently
- under the cursor. If you don't have ARexxGuide download it
- from AmiNet (do it, it's great) or delete the first menu
- voice from the file TTX_Develop_ARexx.dfn.
- Cache: With this submenu you can turn ON and OFF the ARexx Cache
- feature of TurboText (useful if you're developing a macro
- for it).
- Run Macro (ALT F1): This command executes the macro in your current file. The output
- is redirected to a console on the current screen. Before the
- execution of the macro you will be prompted for arguments that
- will be passed to it. This command calls the ARexx Macro
- RunMacro.ttx 1.0 enclosed in this archive (Rexx directory).
- Run Block (ALT F2): This command executes the selected block as ARexx Macro. The
- output is redirected on a console on the current screen.
- Before the execution of the block you will be prompted for
- arguments that will be passed to it. This command calls the
- ARexx Macro ExecARexxBlock.ttx enclosed in this archive.
- Trace Console: With this submenu you can Open and Close the ARexx Trace Console.
- The Console will always be opened on WorkBench Screen (or on
- your current pubscreen). I can't be able to redirect it to the
- frontmost screen or to TURBOTEXT public screen :(.
- Interactive Trace: With this submenu you can turn on/off the interactive trace. If
- the trace console is opened the trace output is redirected to
- it.
- Insert Version: Insert and AmigaDOS version string at the current cursor position.
- The name is the one of the current file. This command calls the
- ARexx Macro InsertVersion.ttx supplied along with TurboText 2.0.
-
-
- FUTURE:
-
- I'm going (maybe) to add new commands and useful (?!) macros to the ones enclosed in this archive.
- Please report bugs and suggestions to fabbri@dimi.uniud.it.
