AWeb ARexx Commands

Available commands are:

OPEN URL/A,RELOAD/S

Retrieve and show the document for this URL.
The RELOAD switch will reload the document even it is still in the document cache.

RELOAD

Reload the current document.

ALLOWCMD

Temporarily allow shell commands and ARexx macros to be started from hyperlinks regardless of the Allow shell commands setting. This allows easier usage of ARexx plug-ins without need for the user to explicitly change the settings.

Commands are allowed only in the current document, or in the document that is being loaded. After a new document is loaded in the window, the normal settings apply.

GET ITEM/A,VAR/K

Get information from the document in this window. The ITEM argument determines the information to return:

URL

Retrieve the URL of the document.

SOURCE

Retrieve the HTML source of the document. Note that due to an ARexx limitation only the first 65535 bytes are returned.

TITLE

Retrieve the title of the document. If no title was defined in the document, the document's URL is returned.

SCREEN

Retrieve the name of the screen that AWeb uses to open its windows on.

The information is returned in the reserved variable RESULT, unless the VAR argument is used to specify the variable name.

SAVEAS NAME,APPEND/S

Save the HTML source of the document.

If NAME is given, the source is saved under this name. If the APPEND switch is set, the source is appended to the file, otherwise the file will be overwritten.

If no NAME is given, a save requester will pop up.
