cbutton
Introduction
cbutton is a program to create a button in the button frame.
This button allows you to start a program (cbutton stands for "Call BUTTON").
If the button frame does not exist, the program will just display a
moveable window. The further operations are the same.
When the item in the cbutton program is indicated by a DO,
then a given program will be started. This is done by starting the ProWesS loader which will load that program.
If needed, you can make sure that the program asks you to insert the proper
disk before the program is actually started.
To function properly, cbutton assumes that the request
and ProWesS loader executable things are available. These are normally
loaded when ProWesS is started.
Usage
cbutton filename [-path path] [-insert] [-name button-name]
- filename
-
The name of the file which has to be used by the ProWesS loader when the
button is activated. If no path is given,
then file will be searched on the data default device (and then on the
program default device).
- path
-
A path can be given. The file will be searched on the path given. A path
can include several device_directory combinations, each separated by a
semicolon (';'). A path can also include directories which start
with the name of a "Global Variable".
- insert
-
When this option is given, the program will ask the user to insert a disk
before it tries to load the program.
- button-name
-
You can explicitly tell the button which name has to be displayed inside
it. If you do not specify the button name, then the filename will be
displayed.
