*  DIRTODEST and PARENTTODEST commands for Directory Opus 5       *
*                                                                 *
*  Written by Timo Kaikumaa (timok@cc.tut.fi)                     *
*                                                                 *
*  ARexx script for Directory Opus 5.5 giving you two new         *
*  directory & lister commands. To make them work, place this     *
*  script into "dopus5:modules" directory.                        *
*                                                                 *
*  This script was written because I wasn't happy with _any_      *
*  command or script of this kind there was already available.    *
*  (And there sure was loads of them.)                            *
*                                                                 *
*  Using these commands results in another lister with the        *
*  same path (DirToDest) or the parent path of your current       *
*  directory (ParentToDest) in it. However, the algorithm to      *
*  determine the new lister is more complex than usually.         *
*  When called without legal arguments, the state of the          *
*  destination listers is first checked. If there is only one     *
*  of them (and it's not the lister where this script was called  *
*  from) it is the one to be used, then. However, if the command  *
*  was used in the actual destination lister the same applies to  *
*  the source listers as well. If these criterions are of no use, *
*  a new check is performed. This time a pathless lister is being *
*  looked for. Usually this means a lister showing the list of    *
*  devices or current caches. If there are many of them, only the *
*  first one is used. In case the search appears still            *
*  unsuccessful, a new lister is finally opened.                  *
*                                                                 *
*  If there are selected directories in a lister where DirToDest  *
*  is called from, the first of these is being used instead of    *
*  current directory. This action also deselects the first        *
*  directory entry.                                               *
*                                                                 *
*  Both commands can only be used within a lister context.        *
*                                                                 *
*  Parameters: NEW/S to always open a new lister.                 *
*                                                                 *
*  Bugs: perhaps customized too much to suit for anyone's taste.  *
*                                                                 *
*  Hint: the first lines of lister menu might be a good place     *
*  for these commands.                                            *
*                                                                 *
