Hmm … interesting idea. I guess I could add something like the
auto-timeout callout, though I wonder if the response-time for an AREX macro
will feel fast enough to keep up with speedy typists on a per-character
basis. This sounds like ideally there would be a library-type callout with
each character, and if it is a formatting character you could do whatever you
want with it, or for 'normal' stuff you'd just pass it through. But that
wouldn't be practical unless you're a pretty seasoned developer type. I'll
see what happens when calling a REXX macro with each character; probably the
callout would be before inserting the char, and you would set a return code
to NULL to just pass the char through, or 1 if you've eaten the char, or
something like that. Thanks-
