Short: Script to return the result of a finger in a requester Author: will@ryker.demon.co.uk Uploader: will ryker demon co uk Type: util/rexx Architecture: m68k-amigaos Q: What is it? A: This is an Arexx script that will return the result of a finger command in a requester on the workbench screen. Q: Why would I want to use it? A: Because using the shell is a bind. Q: How do I use it? A: Type 'RX DFINGER ' in a shell OR use Toolmanager. I have Toolmanager configured so that when I click on a dock on my workbench, it opens another dock containing my commonly fingered sites (friends, my mailbox etc). I can then just click one of these sites and wait for the requester to appear. Q: Whats the catch? A: If the output from a site contains quotes ("" or ''), the script MAY fail and may only produce a partial output or no output at all. This may be possible to get around but I'm new to Arexx and dont know how to stop it. Q: Anything else I should know? A: Yes! There are 2 variables in the script that can be altered. max = maximum number of lines the requester should produce at once. fonttag = the font to use Also, you need rexxreqtools.library or the script wont work.
