ARexx
-----------------------------------------------------------------
You want to control Dust via other applications or GUIs ?
So you need an ARexx-Port.
NAME: "Dust"
COMMANDS: PARSE <cmd> - let Dust parse the string <cmd>,
all Dust-commands except "EXIT" are allowed
EXIT - leave the ARexx-mode
To enter the Dust-ARexx-Mode simply type "REXX".
ARexx-Examples via "rx":
rx "address 'Dust' 'EXIT'"
rx "address 'Dust' 'PARSE ?'" (invokes general help)
rx "address 'Dust' 'PARSE load(1,s1)'" (loads an object)
Other example:
You wrote an GUI and want to start and quit Dust in the background.
So write a batchfile "rexx.dust" containing the lines:
rexx
exit
and start Dust typing "Dust rexx.bat".
So Dust will execute your PARSE-calls until you call the ARexx-EXIT-
command. After that the batch-execution will be continued = exit.
If you don't want to get any text-output from Dust you have to
set the QUIET-parameter.
