                    Recent-Document Requestor v2.4 for
       Final Calc, Final Writer, ProVector, PageStream v3.1, and GoldEd

This emailware/postcardware package consists primarily of:

 RecentDocsListerO.rexx -
    Will generate a list of recently-opened documents when used in
    conjunction with the "Open" icon in Final Calc or Final Writer, or when
    used in conjuction with an "Open" macro in ProVector,PageStream, or
    GoldEd.

 RecentDocsListerS.rexx -
    Will generate a list of recently-opened documents when used in
    conjunction with the "Save" icon in Final Calc or Final Writer, or when
    used in conjuction with a "Save" macro in ProVector, PageStream, or
    GoldEd.

 RecentDocsRequestor.rexx -
    Brings up a requestor allowing you to choose from your recently-opened
    Final Calc, Final Writer, ProVector, PageStream, or GoldEd docs. The most
    recently opened documents will be at the top of the list. Also allows
    deletion of docs from the recent-docs list.


History:

v2.4  - Selecting the Open gadget in the recent-docs requestor without having
           a file selected will now bring up the standard open-file requestor
           instead of exiting.

v2.3  - Added support for GoldEd. I use the unregistered v3.1.3.

v2.2b - Macros can now be located anywhere, not just in REXX:. If the
           locations are changed, remember to modify the the buttons and
           macros used to call the RecentDocs macros.

v2.2a - Utility for forcing Final Calc's screen to be public instead of
           private included (see details for installing TruePub by Timo
           Kaikumaa in the Final Calc installation instructions).

        Utility for forcing windows to open on the front-most public screen
           included (see details for installing FrontPub by Gunther Nikl in
           the installation instructions).

        Code for redefining public screen (see v2.1 above) removed.

        Allows even more flexibility in changing names of macros.

v2.2  - The recent-docs requestor now has a Delete function to delete files
           from the list. Note that this only deletes files from the recent-
           docs list and not from your drive! Thanks to Achim Klopsch for
           this suggestion!

        The macros can now be renamed, following certain limitations (see
           installation). Thanks again to Achim Klopsch!

v2.1  - Can be used with Final Calc, Final Writer, ProVector, and PageStream.

        Now requires rexxreqtools.library in addition to rexxtricks.library.

        Temporarily redefines the current public screen to encourage
           requestors to open on the appropriate screens. I didn't run into
           this problem, but Heiko Schröder did and offered a correction for
           it. Thanks Heiko! Note that FinalCalc does not open on a public
           screen and therefore  will not allow requestors to open on its
           screen.

        Location of macros has changed; they are now stored in REXX: to allow
           having a single copy of the macros available for use by all
           programs. This requires changes to previously modified Final Calc
           buttons and user.menu as well as to Final Writer Button Strips and
           User Menus. If this is not your first installation, make sure you
           read the installation instructions for each application!

v2.0  - Can be used with both Final Calc and Final Writer.

        Now uses rexxtricks.library.

        Adds both saved and opened files to the recent-docs list.

        Format of recent-docs list changed; remove any RecentDocs.txt files
           created with v1.0.

v1.0  - First release.
