How about an ARexx-Like interface, ie:
key=command line
and the command line is decoded (like for main()) and E-Winease will do
this:
- Lookup argv[0] in a hash and call the function registered with it
with f (argc, argv).
The same API could then be used to control the GUI from a script.
In fact, since hashing gives very good lookup times, I see no advantage
in enforcing a static layout of the config file (especially since Ami
already has an API to create hashes).
