-- Command: string ID/K, COMMAND/K, PORT/K, HELP/K, NODE/K, ATTRS/K/M, CONTENT/K/F String gadget objects are created with this command. String and popasl gadgets are essentially identical with the only difference being the base object class to create each type of object. All options are identical for these objects. * ID [I..] - an id can be assigned to a string gadget for later reference. The id can be any combination of up to 5 characters. If the id is given without any other arguments, and the string gadget has been previously created, then the current string gadget content will be returned in RESULT (if OPTIONS RESULTS is specified in the script). * COMMAND [I..] - if given, the command will be executed whenever a string is entered (i.e. a carriage return is hit while the gadget is active). For a complete description of this option see Command-Port Options. Note that the string gadget content (see the CONTENT argument description) will be used to replace a `%s' contained in the command string. * PORT [I..] - a specific host port may be specified by this argument. For a complete description of this option see Command-Port Options. * HELP [I..] - with this argument help text may be defined which will be displayed as balloon help whenever the pointer is over the associated string gadget. Of course, this is dependant on whether the user set up balloon help in the MUI preference settings. * NODE [I..] - this argument is used to specify a node in the guide file given in the command line argument HELP for `MUIRexx'. If the user positions the mouse pointer over the string gadget and presses the help button on the keyboard then the guide file will be displayed at the node location. * CONTENT [ISG] - the contents of the string gadget is given by this argument. * ATTRS [ISG] - with this option any MUIA attribute TAGs may be set or retrieved (see Attribute TAGs). Some useful TAGs for use with this command are: TAG_Name = TAG_id Flags Type String_Accept = 0x8042e3e1 /* V4 isg STRPTR */ String_AdvanceOnCR = 0x804226de /* V11 isg BOOL */ String_BufferPos = 0x80428b6c /* V4 .sg LONG */ String_Contents = 0x80428ffd /* V4 isg STRPTR */ String_DisplayPos = 0x8042ccbf /* V4 .sg LONG */ String_Format = 0x80427484 /* V4 i.g LONG */ String_Integer = 0x80426e8a /* V4 isg ULONG */ String_MaxLen = 0x80424984 /* V4 i.g LONG */ String_Reject = 0x8042179c /* V4 isg STRPTR */ String_Secret = 0x80428769 /* V4 i.g BOOL */ ControlChar = 0x8042120b /* V4 isg char */ CycleChain = 0x80421ce7 /* V11 isg LONG */ Disabled = 0x80423661 /* V4 isg BOOL */ FixHeight = 0x8042a92b /* V4 i..
