The INSTALL icon will do just that! The rexx script you must have spot execute is 'AFManager.spot' PLEASE NOTE: AFManager's editor defaults to "Rexx:Spot/StartCed.spot". If you wish to use something else, you will have to edit the source file. Look for the line 'EDITOR="Rexx:..." in the AFManager.spot file, just make sure your editor sticks to the CLI. WHAT'S NEW (From Areafixman): - You can now start AFM from anywhere within SPOT. AFM will remember if you started it from a message. - Adding areas from a message now works! To use this feature, start AFM from a message containing the areanames you wish to attach. When prompted for an attach method, select MESSAGE. AFM will start your editor so you can add a '~' in front of the areanames you wish to attach. Quit the editor to return to AFM. The character is configurable, look in the doc file. - AFManager can also retrieve areanames from a textfile. Just follow the steps outlined above but select FILE when prompted for an attach method. - When creating a new preference entry, the requesters will default to the last entry's content. - If you don't have a valid prefs file, AFM will ask you if you wish to create a new one right away. No need to quit AFM anymore. - AFM now asks if you wish to announce your departure everytime you detach an area. The ANNOUNCE line in the prefs file is kept for future compatibility. - You can add extra %Options for Crystalfix or password options for other Areafix programs. [end]
