- JASK - Intuitive Ask Replacement
- --------------------------------
-
- JASK is a replacement for the ASK command distributed in the Amiga 1.3
- enhancer package. It will allow the user to click on a gadget to specify
- a positive or negative response rather than type it in at the keyboard.
- You can move the "requester" to the bottom of the screen or to the front
- or back of other screens if you don't want to answer it at the moment.
-
- JASK Parameters
- ---------------
-
- -r This parameter specifies the "requester" text. This is
- the question you want to ask.
-
- This is the only REQUIRED parameter. (40 character max.)
-
- EXAMPLE: "-rYour MOMMA is ?" = Your MOMMA is ? in the
- requester box.
- (put quotes around the string to put spaces in the text)
-
- -p This specifies the text for the positive (left) gadget.
- When this gadget is selected, WARN (5) will be returned.
- (put quotes around the string to put spaces in the text)
- DEFAULT: YES (12 character max.)
- EXAMPLE: -pUGLY = UGLY in the left gadget.
-
- -n This specifies the text for the negative (right) gadget.
- When this gadget is selected, 0 will be returned (success).
- (put quotes around the string to put spaces in the text)
- DEFAULT: NO (12 character max.)
- EXAMPLE: -nPHAT = PHAT in the right gadget.
-
- -t This will specify a timeout period in seconds. When the
- timeout period expires, the default answer will be returned.
- DEFAULT: wait forever
- EXAMPLE: -t10 = wait 10 seconds.
-
- -d This parameter specifies which gadget is the default (safe)
- answer. It does two things:
- a) determines if the positive or negative answer is
- to be default.
- b) makes a more extravagant border for the specified
- gadget.
- n specifies the negative answer, p specifies the positive
- answer.
- DEFAULT: if this is not specified, both gadgets will look
- the same, but the negative gadget will be returned.
- EXAMPLE: -dp = Fancy gadget rendered on positive and positive
- is the default answer.
-
- -q This specifies whether you want the "requester" quick or if
- you want the "requester" to scroll up.
- DEFAULT: the "requester" scrolls up to it final position.
- EXAMPLE: -q = turn off the scrolling effects.
