- 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.
