Three questions.
I wanted to try using a message box to display time or other system info.
It hasn't been as simple as expected.
1. I haven't found a way to display a message.
This is as close as I've come (as in, doesn't produce an error):
mplex_bindings{
kpress(DEFAULT_MOD.."I", function(s) s:query_message("hello?") end),
}
I've also tried to attach(the_wmessage,{etc.}) without success,
and none of querylib.make_* seem quite right either.
2. How would I go about calling a shell script to return a string usable in the lua
code?
3. This one's for future reference.
Some of the binding setup functions pass an extra parameter.
I don't see how one would be able refer to a second parameter.
