Place the file BetterString_mcc.m in EModules:mui/ .


I also made 8 simplifying macros and included them into the e-module:

* BString(contents)
- Create a simple BetterString.
Ex. Child, BString('test')

* BStringID(contents,id)
- Create a BetterString with an ID so it can remember the string contents.
Ex. Child, BString('better test',"ID01")

* BKeyString(contents,controlchar)
- Create a BetterString that can be activated with an hotkey.
Ex. Child, BString('even better test',"a")

* BKeyStringID(contents,controlchar,id)
- Create a BetterString that can be activated with an hotkey and that
  has an ID so it can remember the string contents.
Ex. Child, BString('best test :)',"b","ID02")

The following 4 is the same as above but they have the
MUIA_String_MaxLen attribute set, note the "L" in the macro name:

* BLString(contents,maxlen)
- Create a simple BetterString.
Ex. Child, BString('test',100)

* BLStringID(contents,maxlen,id)
- Create a BetterString with an ID so it can remember the string contents.
Ex. Child, BString('better test',100,"ID03")

* BLKeyString(contents,maxlen,controlchar)
- Create a BetterString that can be activated with an hotkey.
Ex. Child, BString('even better test',200,"c")

* BLKeyStringID(contents,maxlen,controlchar,id)
- Create a BetterString that can be activated with an hotkey and that
  has an ID so it can remember the string contents.
Ex. Child, BString('best test :)',150,"d","ID04")
