AREXX Help

Zetr0 · 26 January 2011, 20:56

Hello there my fellow forum chummies,

I am in need of some info / help etc.

So lets start with what I want to do

I want to create an AREXX script that launches an amiga program.

heres what I have in mind

Code:

/* Arexx joymouse launch */

PUSH 'AGL:Progs/JoyMouse/JoyMouse 6'
exit

however the above doesn't execute the program.. in fact it does bugger all.

"JoyMouse" allows the user to use a joystick as a mouse - simply put it places moves on the mouse que (this is not my program btw)
"JoyMouse" takes an argument "6" which is the speed

run from cli it would be "CLI > JoyMouse 6"

So I clearly need help as my brain has forgotten all the AREXX since I last dabble in the stuff 20 years ago.

can anyone offer me some help?

much appreciated =D

ADDRESS COMMAND is needed. See you ARexx manual for details.
