Since Version 2.0, ProRen is featuring an Arexxport, making ProRen even more flexible. ProRen's arexxport features three kinds of commands:

• Commands that start an action.
• Commands that set a gadgets status, they are introduced with SET.
• Commands that get a gadgets status, they are introduced with GET.

Commands, that start an action are:

• START
  ProRen starts renaming files.
• CLEARFILENOTES
  The filenotes of the selected files are removed.
• PARENT
  ProRen changes to the parent directory.
• MARK ALL/NONE/INVERT
  
  • ALL: all files in the filelist are selected.
  • NONE: all files in the filelist are deselected.
  • INVERT: selected files are deselected, not selected file are selected.
• UNDO
  ProRen renames the selected files to their old names.
• DIRLISTREADY
  As MUI reads a directory on a seperate task, it's necessary to wait in arexx- scripts, until the directory has been read completely. This command returns 0, if you still have to wait and 1 if the directoryreading has been completet. The arexx-script reverse.rexx shows an example usage.

Commands, that set/get the status of a gadget:
If the status shall be set, the command must be introduced by SET. If the status shall be get, there must be a GET introducing the command. SET commands do not return a value but you have to give a parameter. GET commands do not use a parameter, but return a value in result.

SET BASENAME 'Anim.'
name=GET BASENAME
oldbase=result /* set oldbase to the got basename */
