F1GP-Ed Documentation |
F1GP-Ed command-line processing is carried out in the standard KS 2.0 way (ie using ReadArgs()). Users with previous kickstart versions are forced to customize soley via tooltypes, as the cutdown usage is: F1GP-Edwhere datafile is the name of a datafile you wish to load Now that's out of the way those of you with KS 2.0 or higher may read on :) Each parameter specified overrides the corresponding tooltype value (if it exists) in the F1GP-Ed icon. The parameters are identical to the tooltypes and are NOT case sensitive and can be specified in any order. The template is: DATAFILE,LOADF1GP/S,DELAY/K/N,SAVETOMEM/S,PATCH/S,QUIT/S,FONT/K, FONTSIZE/K/N,PUBSCREEN/K,KEYPATH/K,HELPFILE/K,ASYNCHELP/S,NOACTIVATE/S, NOGUI/S: Examples of running F1GP-Ed from a Shell (note that the actual result can depend on what tooltypes you have set in the F1GP-Ed icon): F1GP-Ed ? Displays the template that is shown above and waits for you to continue entering parameters.
