As promised. It hasn't been widely tested, so let me know if anyone has problems. The Readme.txt: ______________________________________________________________ Thanks for downloading this RunBox script. It's largely inspired by swzoh's own script, with some modifications. Thanks to swzoh for the great ideas. Requirements: PowerPro Version 3.9 (Mar 2004) or later. To install this script: ,----- [ Installation ] -------------------------------------- | 1) Copy the included files ".powerpro" and "Aliases" into your | PowerPro scripts folder usually &(PProFolder)Scripts. | | 2) Create a Hotkey or button etc for the action: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | 3) Create a scheduler startup item with the following: | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | [EMAIL PROTECTED] `------------------------------------------------------------- The purpose of those items are documented in the file ".powerpro". For quick access I recommend you use a single key that you don't use often, for example ` (back-tick). That doesn't appear in the dropdown list for PP, but it's "Virtual key 223" on my keyboard. Perhaps "Pause" or "Scroll Lock" - whatever your choice make it something quick, since you can accomplish quite a lot with aliases. ` used to be my Macro key, but since I can do similar things with aliases, I've retired Macros for the moment. To add an aliases, edit the file ".powerpro" in your favourite text editor - I've put some comments for the sample aliases in there. You can create an alias for pretty much anything PowerPro can do. In usual PowerPro fashion, begin a script with @LabelName and end it with QUIT. Feel free to make the @LabelName descriptive - that's the beauty of auto-completion. When you're done editing, run the command RefreshAliases - that re-created the Alias file and vector for auto-completion, preserving non-alias history items in the process. If you have problems with this, you can contact me via http://shell-shocked.org/contact.php or by making a post to the Power-Pro List. Thanks and enjoy!

Well, I didn't want certain items to appear in the drop-down list for auto-completion when typing, so I started them with an underscore. I actually keep all my scripts in ".powerpro" and don't want all of them to auto-complete. 2) What's up with that file name ".powerpro" anyway? Well that's the shortest script name possible, and like I mentioned, I keep all my scripts in there, so it's less to type. Names like this are allowed in XP, I'm not so sure about 9x. 3) Which characters can I use for aliases? I've been quite happy using underscores and capitalising words, so I haven't bothered to find out. Many other characters cause problems with command execution, for example ., & and ! If you want a shorter alias, like "pq" then use the label: @pq_Go_To_Bank_Site_and_Login 4) Why use an inputcancel box and not PP's own Tiny Runbox? Well PP's runbox could be used - and swzoh's own script has an option for this using HookCommandLine. (Take a look at his original script if you must have this.) I prefer to keep them separate so that I can use auto-completion for "file urlhistory urlrecent" separately from my alias file. This is a speed issue - I've noticed that some of these options slow down auto-completion a bit. It also helps me logically to keep aliases and files/URLs in different runboxes that look different and appear in different places on my screen - but that's just me. 5) I've made a typo - and now it's permanently in the history and keeps auto-completing! No problem - open up the Aliases file in your PP scripts folder and take out the offending entry from the end. Be careful to leave spaces separating the items. _______________________________________________________________ -- Ravi (http://shell-shocked.org) PowerPro 3.8.13 on Windows XP ------------------------ Yahoo!
