TEDDock has its own ARexx port used mainly for communication with @{"SuperTED" link Blitz2:REDHelp/SuperTED/SuperTED.GUIDE/MAIN}.

@{b}OPENWINDOW@{ub}
  This will cause TEDDock to reopen its window if it has been closed.

@{b}MESSAGE text$@{ub}
  This command changes TEDDocks window title to text$.  This is used for
  messages from @{"SuperTED" link Blitz2:REDHelp/SuperTED/SuperTED.GUIDE/MAIN}.

  Brings up TEDDocks about requester.

@{b}QUIT@{ub}

TEDDock can be configured to use any shapes files that you provide as a button
image, and to execute any arexx script, dos script, or arexx command (the
latter is always directed at @{"SuperTED" link Blitz2:REDHelp/SuperTED/SuperTED.GUIDE/MAIN}). Using the integrated preferences
window it is possible to tailor TEDDock to suit youwr needs.

Note that when using your own imagery, there are 14 images built into TEDDock,
available through the names @{b}INTERNAL??@{ub}.  When using your own shapes files,
note that these should be of individual @{b}single@{ub} shapes.  A variety of shapes
are provided in the GFX drawer for you to use at will.
