Hi!
this afternoon i will have to make an upgrade, for when open the Windoweyes
control panel and activating my Breaking News app it gets into an infinite loop
because the tree view when set to expand, gets all tree views messed up.
I just have to not expand it.

Hi Mike,
You can go to the App web site and download the app. It has with it 2
hotkey files which give an explanation of the app.
The app works most of the time, but has it's limitations based on what the
web site users do, like having lists hidden in scripts; which I strip out for
ad/virus protection.
What this app does is first goes to a control panel where 4 defaults are
listed.
You can add to that list by hitting the enter key. Once hitting the enter
key you have to hit the end key and get to that new addition to the list.
Since you are in a tree view you then hit the right arrow key and expand
that entry.
Once expanded the first one on the list is the name of the alert you want to
add, so hit the tab key and go into the edit field to enter that name.
Once any changes have been made hitting the enter key saves them and returns
you to that entry on the tree.
Then move down to the next tree entry, I called them properties.
The second entry is the link, URL, or web site to monitor or go to.
This entry requires the format to include http:// and if not there it must be
entered.
You can paste your URL in or enter it by hand.
Once again hit the enter key and will be returned to it's listing.
Now cursor down again and hit the tab key, you are in the entry field for a
search term.
This entry is for searching a phrase on the web page you most often go to on
that page. As in news, the phrase is usually Breaking News. but can be anything
of your choosing.
Once entered the search phrase, hit the enter key again, returning you to the
entry list.
Now the next one down is the alert time interval, and it is not set up yet, so
ignore that entry.
The last property on the list is the heading one feature. This is usually what
highlights top stories on a web page, or breaking news.
So this is a check box and you just hit the space bar to check or uncheck it.
It places a True or False in the edit field for you so you need not enter the
word.
Once the entries are all made you have to use the file menu save feature to
save the new web page in your .ini file for future listing. If not done you
will loose it and it will not be displayed the next time you run the app.
This program can be complicated based on what web sites display
automatically or when you are on part of the screen or window for that web
site. Since i do not have you go to the page some links and text are never
seen. Most are and the rest is based on experience when running and using the
app.
Features of the app:
You can look at text on the page and have links to go to if so desire. this is
done by just hitting the Alt-End key combo hotkey. This will load a textbox
with the text from the page displayed. No link name is given, that is the text,
but I place on the page a text which means there is a link and the format of
that is: Link=#
Link=# where # is any number that is shown. That number is only a reference to
a dictionary that holds the URL of the text displayed above it explains.
So using this hotkey you can normally get most of the information of the web
page shown, but not always, for some web pages are scripts running a list, or
virus, or ad which I stop them from doing.
The next hotkey you may want is the Alt-PageUp hotkey.
The Alt-PageUp hotkey gives you the name of the link and stores it in your
clipboard.
Having it in your clipboard you can store that link any place you so desire
to do, like an email or something.
The last feature, the most complicated but comes in handy is the ability to
list all links in a list and you can navigate around to the desired one you
want to view or go to.
the next hotkey is the Alt-PageDown hotkey that does this.
The Alt-PageDown will load, or download, the web page and store it in a list,
or list view.
There you have all the links on the web page and you can look around and see
which one is of interest to you. you can also list the links in alphabetical
order, when run the first time there in the order they reside on the web page
and not sorted.
After the first run you can set the sort to unsorted, alpha sort, or
reverse alpha sort. If you then save the settings from the files menu while in
the list view, those settings will be saved until you change them.
Now the same hotkeys are there as was in the control panel.
The Alt-PageUp, Alt-PageDown, Alt-End, and Control-PageDown hotkeys are all the
same, if in the control panel, list view, or editbox.
I noticed the alt-Pagedown seems not to work in list view, so I have to change
it, but that feature is also done by just hitting the enter key when on a link.
That enter key has 2 options which are toggled in the view menu B key.
The button at the bottom of the page can represent Read or load web page. When
reading the web page you load the web page into an editbox and read it. When
load is present it means you download the page and read the links in the List
View.
Now the last feature is the editbox or reading the web page in text form.
As I had mentioned above, the editbox gives the text of the page and the label
or name of the link. under that name or label is the word Link=# where the #
sign just means an actual number is there and there numbered sequentially as
seen on the web page; for use in a dictionary reference.
So when the cursor is on that Link=# you can use the very same hotkeys as I
had mentioned above.
Attend: download a web page into the editbox.
Alt-PageUp: Look at the link URL and store it in your clipboard.
Alt-PageDown: Download the web page and store it in a list, or list view.
Control-PageDown: Go to the web page using your standard browser, thus you are
now away from your computer and on the Internet.
I hope this helps and explains what you can do with this app.
sincerely
Bruce and Bronx

Haven't seriously looked at your script to this point; but have read with
interest over the last several months as it has evolved.
Is there somewhere an overview of what it can and cannot do; and how one
is best testing its power and giving it a fair evaluation.
I well realize that often people find short comings with scripts and
programs because not of the program itself but they cannot figure out how
to use it to its maximum intent as created by the author.
We are ready to leap forward in our Christian walk when we embrace
the unshakable reality that the universe revolves around God, not us.
