To help you get started with the ARexx scripts, you can type the following:

1> run ProANSI_e
1> rx AutoMenu.ProANSI AMTest

And you will see ProANSI in action.  It will generate several menu screens,
and  will  try to save them to the ram:  disk.  This won't succeed, because
of  the  fact  that you have an evaluation version, which can do everything
except saving screens.

To  get  an  impression  of the kind of screens that ProANSI produces, I've
included  several  screens which were all saved by ProANSI.  If you want to
test them, try loading them into another ansi editor, and save them under a
different  name.   Then,  check sizes to see which one is shortest.  If you
find  a  program that generates shorter screens, please contact me and tell
me  what  program  and what screen was shorter.  I will then try to improve
the save routines as soon as possible.

Please  read  the  documentation for more information about ProANSI, and if
you want to register, please read the "Registration.doc".
