-
- FILE is the File to be edited at startup.
- If FILE is a directory, this directory is displayed at startup.
-
- EDITOR/K is the Editor for Edit ext..
- HEXEDITOR/K is the Editor for Edit hex..
- Usage
- *****
-
- MuiEnv opens a window with a listview, a string gadget and several
- button gadgets.
-
- The listview shows the current environment variable, that can be
- chosen by arrow keys or by mouse.
-
- With TAB you can switch between the listview and the string gadget.
- The contents of the string gadget are valid for all actions.
-
- With RETURN or a double click inside the listview you can change to
- a subdirectory if a directory is selected, if a short variable is
- selected, the Edit button is triggered, if a long variable or a
- Variable containing Null-bytes is selected, the Edit ext. button is
- triggered. This is functioning, too, if the string gadget is activated.
-
- The Edit button opens a new window with a string gadget to change
- the current environment variable and three button gadgets: Save saves
- the environment variable to ENV: and ENVARC:, Use saves only to
- ENV: and Cancel cancels.
-
- The Edit ext. button calls an external editor to edit the contents
- of the current environment variable. The editor can be determined with
- the ToolType or shell parameter EDITOR. Default is $EDITOR.
-
- The Edit hex. button calls an external hex-editor to edit the
- contents of the current environment variable. The editor can be
- determined with the ToolType or shell parameter HEXEDITOR. Default
- is $HEXEDITOR.
-
- The Save button copies the current environment variable from
- ENV: to ENVARC:.
-
- The Reload button copies the current environment variable from
- ENVARC: to ENV:.
-
- the Delete button deletes the current environment variable in
- ENV: and ENVARC:. It deletes a directory completely with
- contents.
-
- The Rename button opens a new window with a string gadget to change
- the name of the current environment variable and three button gadgets:
- Save renames the environment variable in ENV: and ENVARC:,
- Use renames only in ENV: and Cancel cancels.
-
- The MakeDir button opens a new window with a string gadget to
- create a new directory and three button gadgets: Save creates the
- directory in ENV: and ENVARC:, Use creates only in ENV: and
- Cancel cancels.
-
- The Rescan button rereads the contents of the listview.
-
- The Parent button shows the contents of the parent directory in
- the listview.
-
- The Update all button copies all Files from ENVARC: to ENV: which
- are not already in ENV:. This is usefull if a newly installed program
- has installed its environment variables only in ENVARC: or if varibles
- in ENV: have been deleted.
-
- The Quit button quits MuiEnv.
-
- New variables a created by inserting an new variable name in the
- string gadget and pressing Edit or RETURN.
