AWeb ARexx shell

In order to assist you in exploring the vast set of ARexx commands, a special shell program is included.

If you have turned Allow shell commands on, you can start the shell now: extras/awebshell.rexx.

A window is opened. In this window, you can type ARexx commands which will be executed by AWeb. If the command returns a value in the reserved variable RESULT, the value is displayed.

If you want the command to return its result in another variable, or needs a stem variable, use the VAR or STEM argument as defined for the command. You can use any variable name, except names that start with "S_".

To display the contents of a single variable, use the command:

   -v variable

To display the contents of a stem variable, use:

   -s stem name name...

stem is the name of the stem variable; name are the names of the items in the array of structured information.

Other special commands you can use in the shell window are:

-a port_number Switches the addressed port to "AWeb.port_number".
-d Opens a new window and displays the command list. If the window is still open from the previous time this command was used, that window is used again.
-h Displays a few lines explaining the special commands.
-x Exits the shell.

`-a port_number`	Switches the addressed port to "`AWeb.port_number`".
`-d`	Opens a new window and displays the command list. If the window is still open from the previous time this command was used, that window is used again.
`-h`	Displays a few lines explaining the special commands.
`-x`	Exits the shell.
