JASK - Intuitive Ask Replacement
--------------------------------
JASK is a replacement for the ASK command distributed in the Amiga 1.3
enhancer package. It will allow the user to click on a gadget to specify
a positive or negative response rather than type it in at the keyboard.
You can move the "requester" to the bottom of the screen or to the front
or back of other screens if you don't want to answer it at the moment.
JASK Parameters
---------------
-r This parameter specifies the "requester" text. This is
the question you want to ask.
This is the only REQUIRED parameter. (40 character max.)
EXAMPLE: "-rYour MOMMA is ?" = Your MOMMA is ? in the
requester box.
(put quotes around the string to put spaces in the text)
-p This specifies the text for the positive (left) gadget.
When this gadget is selected, WARN (5) will be returned.
(put quotes around the string to put spaces in the text)
DEFAULT: YES (12 character max.)
EXAMPLE: -pUGLY = UGLY in the left gadget.
-n This specifies the text for the negative (right) gadget.
When this gadget is selected, 0 will be returned (success).
(put quotes around the string to put spaces in the text)
DEFAULT: NO (12 character max.)
EXAMPLE: -nPHAT = PHAT in the right gadget.
-t This will specify a timeout period in seconds. When the
timeout period expires, the default answer will be returned.
DEFAULT: wait forever
EXAMPLE: -t10 = wait 10 seconds.
-d This parameter specifies which gadget is the default (safe)
answer. It does two things:
a) determines if the positive or negative answer is
to be default.
b) makes a more extravagant border for the specified
gadget.
n specifies the negative answer, p specifies the positive
answer.
DEFAULT: if this is not specified, both gadgets will look
the same, but the negative gadget will be returned.
EXAMPLE: -dp = Fancy gadget rendered on positive and positive
is the default answer.
-q This specifies whether you want the "requester" quick or if
you want the "requester" to scroll up.
DEFAULT: the "requester" scrolls up to it final position.
EXAMPLE: -q = turn off the scrolling effects.
