I have two slightly technical questions that are seemingly
related.... here goes:
1) How can I change TABS in DME (v1.38) to be more Tab like.
Such that when I hit tab in the middle of a line it moves the
line from that point over to the next tab stop? I tried using
SPLIT TAB JOIN and it works except when there is white space
involved. Any suggestions?
2) I used the EXECUTE function in v1.31 to call Lattice v5.05 by
doing a EXECUTE (LC -L ($filename)) and it would send the
output to the console window for reading error messages and
all. In v1.38 it does not do this, it sends it to the NULL
device. (therefore I can't read the errors... not that I
ever have them :-) ).
Any ideas on how I could get it back to the console window?
2b) What advantage would AREXX be in the above situation? I know
that it is a macro script language but I have never heard of
any really awesome useful uses. (Like in the above case).
Does anyone else use DME and Lattice?
Thanks..
Bryan.
