Obsolete commands
These commands appeared in previous versions of AWeb, but are replaced by
other, more powerful commands. Do not use these commands in new scripts.
Future versions of AWeb may not support these commands any more.
Several commands allow specification of a target name or ID. Using
the target name, individual frames in the window can be addressed. Current
target names and IDs can be obtained using the GET FRAMES
command.
When no target is specified, the command will operate on the main window.
If a nonexisting target name is specified, a new window will be opened with
the given name.
Some commands return or take a window rectangle as input. A rectangle
is represented by four numbers, separated by commas. The numbers denote the
left edge, the top edge, the width and the height, respectively.
Some commands return an array of structured information, and some commands take
such an array as input.
You specify the name of the stem variable where the array should be stored, or
where you built the array to be used.
The array is structured in the following way.
The variable stem.0
contains the number of array elements. The individual array elements
are stem.n, where n is in the
range 1 through stem.0. The individual array
elements are in turn stem variables. The names of the atomic variables depend
on the context, see the individual command descriptions.
Example: after completion of the command
GET FRAMES STEM FR
the symbol FR.0 may contain 3, then symbols FR.1.NAME through
FR.3.NAME contain the frame names, and symbols FR.1.ID through
FR.3.ID contain the frame IDs.
