- AMAL examples
- -------------
-
- The best way to get to grips with AMAL is to take a look at the
- included AMAL scripts kept within the "commands" directory.
- Below are some small examples which may give you some ideas of
- scripts you may find useful.
-
- 1. An extended RELOAD command:
-
- This script will force AWeb to load in the current document, move
- the AWebEd screen to the back (thereby forcing the AWeb screen to
- the front), wait five seconds, and then bring the AWebEd screen back
- to the front. It allows the user to reload the current document
- into AWeb and look at it briefly, without faffing about with
- manually sliding the screens around.
-
- SAVDOC DOCPATH - tells AWebEd to save the current document.
- SPEAKTO AWEB.1 - tells AWebEd which Arexx port to send messages
- to.
- SEND open DOCPATH foce - tells AWEB.1 (the AWeb arexx port) to force
- open the current document.
- SCREEN TOBACK - forces the AWebEd screen to the back.
- DOS wait 5 - runs a DOS command to delay execution of
- script for five seconds.
- SCREEN TOFRONT - forces the AWebEd screen to the front.
-
- 2. An extended IMAGE_LINK command:
-
- It could be that you do not want to store all your Website graphics
- and HTML documents in the AWebEd directory tree. This script is a
- modification of IMAGE_HL in which the user has told AWebEd to look
- for the images and documents totally different places on the user's
- harddisk.
-
- TYPE <A HREF="file://localhost/ - Types the start of the
- locallink tags.
- SETDIRECTORY PATH work:wordpro/docs - Sets the current
- directory.
- INSERTPATH - Prompts the user for the
- file.
- TYPE "> IMG SRC="file://localhost/ - More tags.
- SETDIRECTORY PATH work:graphics/gifs - Changes directory again.
- INSERTPATH - Prompts the user for the
- file.
- TYPE " </A> - Finish off the tags.
-
-
- 3. Quick list generator:
-
- This script simply inserts the <LI> tag at the start of the line,
- and moves the cursor down to the next. This script would speed up
- the generation of very long lists.
-
- MOVECURSOR TOSTARTOFLINE - Moves the cursor to the start of
- the current line.
- TYPE <LI> - Types the tag.
- MOVECURSOR DOWN 1 - Moves the cursor down one line.
