Program type

Use the chooser to select the external program type to configure.

Editor

This is the editor command invoked when you select the "Project->Edit source" menu item or when you click the E> gadget in text area form fields.

Use the Command and Arguments fields to specify your editor command. Argument parameters are:
%ffile name to edit.
%nscreen name that AWeb is running on, in case your editor supports opening on a public screen.

Make sure the command will not return until you leave the editor. For some editors, this will need a STICKY or KEEPIO argument.

HTML source viewer

Currently, AWeb relies on an external viewer for the "Project->View source" menu item.

Use the Command and Arguments fields to specify your source viewer command. Argument parameters are:
%ffile name to view.
%nscreen name that AWeb is running on, in case your viewer supports opening on a public screen.

Note that the default setting, MultiView, will not produce the expected results if you happen to have a HTML datatype installed on your system. In that case, the datatype will show the source as HTML again. If this happens, you should configure another viewer.

Image viewer

This is the image viewer used to display standalone images.

Use the Command and Arguments fields to specify your source viewer command. Argument parameters are:
%ffile name to view.
%nscreen name that AWeb is running on, in case your viewer supports opening on a public screen.
%mMIME type of the image. You can use this in a script that starts a different viewer for different types of image.

Script run at startup

This is an ARexx script (not an executable program) that is run immediately after AWeb is started.

Script run at shutdown

This is an ARexx script (not an executable program) that is run immediately before AWeb is stopped.

Console

This is the DOS filename of the console to be opened when external programs are started.

Argument parameters are:
%twindow title
%nscreen name that AWeb is running on.

If you define the console as NIL:, no window will be opened. This may seem convenient, but you should realize that error messages are lost too.
