TextraHyperText v1.1 - an Intuition Interface for inserting
-------------------- HT commands into Textra documents.
v1.0 written 22nd Dec 1991 by DAB - an English Import
v1.1 updated 22nd Jan 1992 by DAB
This script was originally developed for use with HT, a HyperText
program, and Textra, a Word Processor (both of which are available
on BBS's), but could easily be adapted to drive other editors by
simply substituting the Textra commands with the appropriate
replacements. Note that the editor should provide an Arexx port.
you need:
Arexx - © William S. Hawes
(with RexxArpLib.library in LIBS: and ScreenShare.library as well
if you're like me and haven't got AmigaDOS 2.0 yet)
Textra - © Mike Haas (any version that supports Arexx)
HT - © HomeBoy Software (by Dominic Giampaolo)
This program has not been tested under AmigaDOS 2.0 because I can't
afford the complete upgrade on my A500. Of course, if someone wants to
buy me the kit I'll be more than happy to try it out.....
Why?
----
This version represents an upgrade to the previous version. The only
change I have made is to add a requester which appears if the arexx script
is executed before Textra is run. The program tests for the presence of the
Textra Arexx port and if it is not found the requester will appear.
Clicking on either of the requesters buttons will terminate the script.
This solves the problem of the previous version hanging up if Textra wasn't
running.
What?
-----
This script will allow you to use your mouse to insert HT HyperText
commands into Textra documents, thus saving you the trouble of all
that tedious repetitive typing. It creates a window full of gadgets,
where each gadget represents a HyperText command. Pressing a gadget
inserts the related command into the Textra document at the current
cursor position on the current Textra window (the one with the check
mark against it on the Textra 'Windows' menu.
How?
----
To start the program first copy it to your REXX: directory,
then to start it use one of the following:
From a Shell command line
(a) runback rx TextraHyperText.rexx
or if you don't have runback :-
(b) run rx TextraHyperText.rexx
From Textra
select 'AREXX' option in the Utilities menu, then type
'TextraHyperText.rexx' into one of the string gadgets and press return.
if you save the function key assignments, you can just press the
appropriate function key to start the program the next time you use Textra.
