RExecute.README This file
RExecute.intro Description of this program
RExecute-startup Sample Startup Script (see below)
RExecute.rexx ARexx Program
INSTALLATION:
The only file you MUST have is the .rexx program in your REXX:
directory.
If you want to use this program the way described below (as I do),
copy the RExecute.Startup file to your S: directory, and insert the
line as indicated in your Startup-Sequence. To use this startup
file, you must create a new subdirectory in S: called "Common_Apps"
and move your more common scripts there. (This pretty much presumes
you'll execute this scripts ONLY from RExecute, and leave your old
CLI-typing behind.)
USAGE:
To execute, just type "run rx RExecute".
My use of this program is a little more sophisticated. I have all
the common scripts copied to RAM (as scripts, they don't take a lot
of memory) so I don't have to switch disks as often (Hard Drive
donations appreciated! :-)
At completion of the copy to RAM, the .rexx program is executed and
brings up a window for selection of a script. Selection of a script
will EXECUTE that script and return the window right away. You can
continue selecting, leaving the window up during your entire session
if you choose. If you need the memory or just want to get rid of
RExecute, just click on the 'CANCEL' button.
My startup-sequence has the following line in it:
ashell "CON:200/100/430/100/RExecute Window" from S:RExecute-Startup
This creates a separate window for the script output, and the startup
script for the window will copy all your most common scripts into RAM
or RAD, depending on what you have available. (Users who prefer an
interlaced WB screen can change the second number from 100 to 300 to
have this new window at the very bottom of the screen).
DISCLAIMER
Upgrades? I doubt it. This does everything I need it to and haven't
changed it in a LONG time. This is freeware, but please keep all
files together if you copy this anywhere.
