They may be just eleven or twelve years old. Often they have travelled across continents alone. They may have just lost their parents, seen brothers and sisters brutally murdered, or suffered beatings or torture themselves. Whilst our Government offers them basic shelter and the long-term possibility of war-refugee status in the UK, they can live here for weeks and months under the threat of instand deportation, sometimes forced to live rough without provision for food, clothing and other simple necessities. Far from their home and their culture, hungry, fearful and insecure, these children attempt, often with an astounding dignity and human spirit, to survive and grow despite the weight of unbearable memories they carry deep within... @{par} @{par} @{fg shine}Background@{fg text} @{par} @{par}Since 1989 several members of the staff at Hampstead School have been building up a support network for refugee children attending the school who have little or no family back-up, few resources, and are often in a critical emotional state. @{par} @{par}Achievements to date include: @{par} @{par}· Providing food, shelter and income for regugee children, working with the @{par} Tavistock Clinic which is providing counselling services and advising @{par} teachers, @{par}· Forging links with the local authority (London Borough of Camden) to put @{par} children and carers in touch with any relevant support agencies, @{par}· Establishing a social club in which refugee children are offered additional @{par} tuition and emotional support by their fellow pupils at the school, @{par}· Acting as the children's advocates in relation to housing, social services, @{par} social security etc. @{par} @{par} @{fg shine}Status@{fg text} @{par} @{par}Registered Charity number 1035774 @{par}Consultant: Sheila Kasabova, Refugee Co-ordinator, Camden Council @{par}Consultant Psychologist: Maureen Fox, Consultant Psychotherapist at the @{par} Tavistock Clinic @{par}Legal Consultants: Bindmans (services at no charge) @{par}Accountants: Alan Heywood, Chartered Accountants (services at no charge) @{par} @{par} @{fg shine}Aims and Objectives@{fg text} @{par} @{par}1. To continue to build on the existing project achievements outlined, @{par}2.

Employing a fundraiser. @{par} Cost: £15,000 pa. @{par} @{par} @{fg shine}Conclusion@{fg text} @{par} @{par}The project originated at Hampstead School is the only one of its kind. Due largely to recent wide coverage and acclaim in local, national and international media, it is increasingly being recognised by local authorities as a role model for other schools. Central to the project's success is teacher Athy Demetriades, who has assisted on training days in schools around the country. Regular requests for her to speak now come from solicitors, educational psychologists, welfare services and radio programmes as well as schools. On average, she fulfils one such engagement per week. She is, in effect, becoming one of few experts on the all-round care of children suffering a unique combination of problems - the destruction of the childhood together with the loss of citizenship and any automatic recourse to law and welfare that citizenship entails. @{par} @{par}Sponsorship for Children of the Storm would ensure that the work originated at Hampstead School can continue. It would also lay the foundations for a training programme enabling teachers and carers right across the country to provide the basics of security and education to refugee children. @{par} @{par} @{fg shine}Further Information@{fg text} @{par} @{par}This is basically what you would find on the letter head: @{par} @{par}@{fg fill}Children Of The Storm @{par}Hampstead School @{par}Westbere Road @{par}London @{par}NW2 3RT @{par}United Kingdom@{fg text} @{par} @{par}There is a telephone and fax number, but I feel that it would be unwise to @{par}include it here, as there are a few idiots out there who might abuse it. @{par} @{par}Charity registration number 1035774 @{par} @{par}Patrons: @{par}@{fg fill} Dame Judi Dench, @{par} Lindsay Duncan, @{par} Geraldine James, @{par} Griff Rhys Jones, @{par} John Gordon Sinclair.@{fg text} @{par} @{par}Trustees: @{par} @{fg fill}A.

I was annoyed with how long the scripts took to do their job, so I converted them to assembler. @{par} @{par}At the moment, @{fg fill}DOpusFuncs@{fg text} provides you with these extra commands: @{par} @{par}@{fg fill}1)@{fg text} @{b}Read@{ub} the @{b}selected directory@{ub} into an existing or new lister, without @{par} having to drag it using the shift key. @{par}@{fg fill}2)@{fg text} @{b}Read@{ub} a lister's @{b}parent@{ub} directory into an existing or new lister. @{par}@{fg fill}3)@{fg text} @{b}Copy@{ub} the contents of a lister into an existing or new lister. @{par}@{fg fill}4)@{fg text} @{b}Swap@{ub} the contents of two listers. @{par}@{fg fill}5)@{fg text} @{b}Copy@{ub} the @{i}names @{ui}of the @{b}selected entries@{ub} to the @{b}clipboard@{ub}. @{par} @{par}@{fg fill}DOpusFuncs@{fg text} can also be used for openning new listers with specified path, position, size and type, but if you want a program to do this you should use @{" CDOpus " LINK CDOpus_Intro} instead. @{par}Read the @{" usage " LINK Usage} node to see exactly what it can do. @ENDNODE @NODE CDOpus_Intro "DOpusFuncs - CDOpus, Introduction" @{par}CDOpus was originally based on the @{fg shine}CDO.dopus5@{fg text} and @{fg shine}OCD.dopus5@{fg text} ARexx scripts which @{" I " LINK Credits} wrote a while ago. I wrote it in order to develop my routines for talking to ARexx ports via Assembler, but since then it has actually grown in to something quite useful! @{par} @{par}@{u}Basically@{uu}, the program has two functions, both of which are intended to make moving between Shell and @{fg shine}Directory Opus@{fg text} quicker and easier: @{par} @{par}@{fg fill}1)@{fg text} You can run it from a Shell to change-directories to the same path as @{par} your Directory Opus 5 source lister. @{par}@{fg fill}2)@{fg text} You can run it from a Shell and have a new DOpus lister open with the @{par} same path as your shell. (You can also read into a lister which is @{par} already open). @{par} @{par}@{b}It doesn't end there (!).@{ub} You can also use it as a command to open listers with a given path, position, and source/dest/locked mode! (I know a couple of people who have written ARexx scripts to do just this - now you can do it a little faster @{fg shine};@{fg fill}-@{fg text}). @ENDNODE @NODE Requirements "DOpusFuncs - Requirements" @{par}See also: @{" Known Bugs " LINK Future} @{par} @{par}Seeing as I have a low-end machine, this program should run on any type of @{fg shine}Amiga@{fg text}, provided it has @{fg shine}AmigaOS 2@{fg text} or above. @{par} @{par}Of course, you also need @{fg shine}Directory Opus 5@{fg text}. @{par} @{par}This @{fg fill}AmigaGuide@{fg text} takes advantage of some of the extra features of the @{fg fill}OS3.1 amigaguide.datatype@{fg text}, such as @{fg fill}SmartWrap@{fg text}, @{fg fill}WordWrap@{fg text}, @{fg fill}Colour@{fg text}, and @{fg fill}Styles@{fg text}. @{fg fill}OS3.0@{fg text} users should get everything apart from the @{fg fill}SmartWrapping@{fg text}, and @{fg fill}OS2@{fg text} users should still see the same text, just not as @{bg shine}p@{bg fill}r@{bg shine}e@{bg fill}t@{bg shine}t@{bg fill}y@{bg back}. @ENDNODE @NODE Credits "DOpusFuncs - Credits" @{par}See also: @{" Debug version " LINK DebugVersion} @{par} @{par} @{fg shine}@{u}The Author:@{uu}@{fg text} @{par} @{fg fill}Leo Davidson @{par} @{fg text}leo@hampschl.demon.co.uk @{fg fill}(until Oct'95) @{par} @{fg text}leo.davidson@keble.oxford.ac.uk @{fg fill}(from Oct'95) @{par} @{fg shine}Nudel@{fg fill} in #Amiga on Effnet & Undernet @{par} @{par} @{par}@{fg text}If my EMail address @{b}after Oct'95@{ub} doesn't work, please EMail my friend Trevor Morris and ask for the correct one. @{par} @{par}Please mail me if you find any bugs, or have any ideas for new features.

Freely distributable.@{fg text} @{par} @{par}Introduction @{par} @{par}If you've ever tried creating even a modestly sized AmigaGuide file by hand, @{par}you'll have discovered that it can be quite difficult to keep track of all the @{par}various links and cross references. As your help file gets larger, it gets @{par}increasingly harder to ensure that you have remembered to reference all the @{par}nodes in the file from at least one place, and haven't left any unresolved @{par}links. @{par} @{par}CheckGuide is a simple utility that can detect several common errors in @{par}AmigaGuide files. The errors it can detect are: @{par} @{par}· Extra plain text between an \@ENDNODE and \@NODE (AmigaGuide won't allow such @{par} text to ever be displayed) @{par} @{par}· Nodes that are defined but not referenced from any other node. Unless your @{par} program directly instructs AmigaGuide to access such nodes, the user won't @{par} easily be able to access them. @{par} @{par}· Links to help nodes that aren't defined within the file. @{par} @{par}· Open braces with no preceding \@ character (usually a simple typo). @{par} @{par}· \@{" Button "} constructs with no LINK command (an easy mistake to make if @{par} you're entering a lot of them). @{par} @{par}All of these options can be selectively enabled or disabled. @{par} @{par} @{fg shine}CheckGuide was used in the creation of @{b}THIS@{ub} document!@{fg text} @ENDNODE @NODE AGIX "AGIX by Ralph Seichter" @{par} @{fg shine}@{u}From: AGIX.doc 1.2 (5.8.94) Copyright © Ralph Seichter@{uu} @{par} @{par}@{fg text}PURPOSE: @{par} @{par} Although AmigaGuide documents may have a node index, only few documents @{par}make use of this feature. I suppose that many people are too lazy to build @{par}an index manually (I definitely am), so I thought it would be a good idea @{par}to have this task done automatically. AGIX scans an AmigaGuide document for @{par}references like \@{"foo" link "bar"} (note that AGIX does not use the node @{par}definitions), sorts them alphabetically and produces an index file. @{par} @{par} "Haven't I seen something like that before?" you might ask. Well, I have @{par}seen one similar program so far, but on my machine it didn't work, so I @{par}decided to try it myself. The result is short (only 1960 bytes) and uses @{par}StrnCmp() from locale.library instead of stricmp(), if available, and has a @{par}very nice sounding name. :) @ENDNODE @NODE NewEdit "NewEdit by Uwe Röhm & Paul Huxham" @{par}NewEdit NewEdit @{par} @{par} PURPOSE @{par} To provide aditional functions and operators during string gadget @{par} editing. @{par} @{par} COPYRIGHT @{par} The copyright in this package is owned by Paul Huxham © 1995. @{par} NewEdit 1.9 is based on the original NewEdit by Uwe Röhm. @{par} @{par} DISTRIBUTION @{par} NewEdit should be distributed at no charge to the end user however @{par} should a duplication charge be made, it should not exceed the cost of a @{par} blank 3.5" disk.

By @{par} using the RALT key you can still access the functions. @{par} @{par} The following parameters can be set either as tooltypes or via command @{par} line switches when running NewEdit: @{par} RALT - If you do not wish to have the RALT functions available (those @{par} key commands that can use either RALT or RAMIGA, use this @{par} parameter to disable the RALT keys. (Keys like RALT CURSOR LEFT @{par} will still work). @{par} @{par} CLIPUNIT - Sets the clipboard unit used to copy to and from. @{par} @{par} COMPLIER @{par} NewEdit was written and compiled using CED V3.5 and SAS/C 6.55 on @{par} an Amiga 4000/040. It should perform equally well on a 68000. @{par} Enforcer was used to detect and correct programming errors. @{par} @{par} BUGS @{par} The only thing I can find is that in the first string gadget activated @{par} after NewEdit is installed, the cursor will jump to the right hand end @{par} of the gadget. I don't know why this happens. This also happened in Uwes @{par} original version.
