- 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.
