Attributes
The attribute system in RexxCD enables the user to control about every
aspect of the program.
The attributes (also called FIELDS) are grouped
in units called OBJECTS. If there are more than one instance of
an object (e.g. WINDOW), the different instances of the object are
referenced by their NAME.
The attributes are set with the ARexx command SETATTR, and read with the
command GETATTR. The attributes system is also used for LOAD/SAVE SETTINGS.
For example, if you want to open the lyrics window, you set the
OPEN field of the WINDOW object called LYRICS to 1.
Like this:
SETATTR OBJECT WINDOW NAME LYRICS FIELD OPEN VALUE 1
