HOW TO USE TURBO-LEUSCHNER
With the help of "Turbo-Leuschner" you are able to create your
own menus comfortable for Workbench-based Windows or expand
already existing menus. Turbo-Leuschner supplies ALL functions
of the Workbench-Menu-System.
You call "Turbo-Leuschner" with two parameters and the DOS-
command "run" :
run TurboLeuschner WINDOW FILE
For the correct work of "Turbo-Leuschner" the command "run"
must be placed in the directory "c:". ( Just if you work with
Kickstart 1.2/1.3 ).
"WINDOW" represents the name of the Window you want to expand
with your own menus. ( e.g. "Workbench" for the window of the
workbench or "AmigaShell" for your highest shell-window ) You
have to take care with the spelling : The program differs
between small and capital letters.
"FILE" is the name ( including path) of an ASCII-Controlling-
File which contains the information for "Turbo-Leuschner".
The Controlling-File constists of several controlling-codes
( e.g. the exclamation-mark "!") which are often followed by a
string. Only ONE controlling code in a line is permitted. You
can create this file with every editor ( such as "MEMACS" or
"ED" ).
The specified controlling codes :
The "!" is followed by the name of a new menu.
( e.g. "!Tools")
The "$" if followed by the name of a new item. The item refers
to the last menu given before in the file.
( e.g. "$editors")
The "&" if followed by the name of a new subitem, which refers
to the last given item.
The ">" is followed by the name of a file, "Turbo-Leuschner"
shall execute if the user choose the corresponding (sub)item.
( This is the name of the item-/subitem in the line before.)
EXAMPLE :
!Tools ( creates the menu "Tools" )
$editors ( creates the 1st item "editors" in "tools" )
&Memacs ( creates the 1st subitem "Memacs" of the item
"editors" )
>sys:memacs ( file to execute when selecting "Memacs" )
&Ed ( creates the 2nd subitem "Ed" of "editors" )
>c:Ed ( file to execute )
$Diskcopy ( creates 2nd item "Diskcopy" of "tools" )
>dh0:Diskcopy ( file to execute )
!games ( new menu "games" )
Except for these basic functions "Turbo-Leuschner" supports
ALL the other features of the workbench menu-system :
The "§" is followed by the name of a menu that already belongs
to the window and you want to extend. ( The computer differs
between small and capital letters.)
The "-" is followed by a single letter. "Turbo-Leuschner"
generates a "keyboard shortcut", which means that the user can
select this item/subitem also by pressing the left amiga key
and the key given after the "-".
If there is a "C" in the line after a given item-/subitemname,
this item/subitem will be provided with a "checkmark symbol"
( the hook ). This "hook" appears after the 1st,3rd,5th,7th...
selection of the item/subitem or disappears after every 2nd,
4th,6th,8th.. selection. If you write a small "c", the "hook"
will be already present at the first appearance of the menu
and will dissapear after every 1st,3rd,4th,.. selection of the
(sub)item. If you specify a "c" or "C", "Turbo-Leuschner" sup-
ports the execution of two different files.
The file to be called if the "hool" is visible has to be given
by a "<" ( followed by the name and the path of the file to be
executed ). The other file you specify normally by the ">".
When using the "checkmark symbol" you always have to specify
two execution files even if they are equal.
EXAMPLE :
!tools
$Activate PC ( item "Activate PC" in "tools )
C ( "Activate PC" gets a "hook" which is vi-
sible after every 1st,3rd,.. selection )
>PC/PCStart ( program to be executed if the hook was
not active (here: 1st,3rd,.. selection )
<PC/PCClose ( program to be executed if the hook was
active ( here : 2nd,4th,.. selection )
IN ORDER TO FINISH "TURBO-LEUSCHNER" :
"Turbo-Leuschner" will be finished after the selection of the
close gadget in the window with the "Turbo-Leuschner"-menu.
You can finish "Turbo-Leuschner" also by choosing the menuitem
"quit" which will be automatically added in every menu bar. In
both cases the window will continue zo be opened until you se-
lect the close gadget (again). But be carefull when closing a
"shell" or "cli"-window by the command "endshell" or "endcli"
while "Turbo-Leuschner" is already active. In these cases you
have to finish "Turbo-Leuschner" before by selecting the item
"quit".
HINTS : If you want to create your own menus for your own shell
windows it would be useful to place the needed command in the
file "shell-startup" which is in the directory "s:". "Turbo-
Leuschner" will be activated after every new shell start.
You can also place the command for the expansion of the work-
bench menu bar at the end of the "startup-sequence".
ATTENTION : This program supplies ALL versions of the Amiga
workbench system which are available. But there is a little
restriction corncerning the workbench versions V2.x and V3.x
( not for V1.2 and V1.3 ) : You can't extend the menu "tools"
by using subitems, checkmarks or keyboard shortcuts ( Just ad-
ding items is possible ).
IF YOU THINK OF RUNNING "TURBO-LEUSCHNER" ON A NON-ENGLISH
WORKBENCH ( WHICH IS SUPPORTED BY THE V2.1 AND V3.0 OR HIGHER
OF THE WORKBENCH SYSTEM ), AND EXPANDING THE WORKBENCH MENU
"Tools" ("Hilfmittel" in Germany or whatever it may be..), YOU
HAVE TO SPECIFY THE NEW NAME OF THE WORKBENCH-WINDOW AND THE
NEW NAME OF THE MENU "Tools". THIS HAS TO HAPPEN AS FOLLOWS :
":"New name of the workbench window
";"New name of the menu tools.
EXAMPLE :
:Arbeitsbank
;Hilfsprogramme
