Beginner's tutorial
Now let's see how easy Selector is to program. If there is a command
that you don't understand, look in the command index.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
We will begin with a little info window:
text "This is a little info"
text "window made with"
text "Selector 4.0"
space
text "Close window to continue"
The script above is written to a file called "b1.sel"
Then it is run with: Selector b1.sel
Try it!
-Now, wasn't that easy?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now we will try to make a little button panel instead:
button "The clock" run sys:utilities/clock
button "Startup" run 'type >con: s:startup-sequence'
button exit exit
Try it!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, how about a little requester?
close off
gap 6
rows 2
color 2
text "Leave from this"
text "requester now?"
color 1
startbox
button Yes Exit
endbox
button No
Try it!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Env variables??? Just enclose them with []...
defenv variable Hello
text "[variable]"
button "This" setenv variable "This" update
button "Is" setenv variable "Is" update
button "Selector" setenv variable "Selector" update
unsetenv variable
Try it!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
