Fred,
The example you give change to the Doc: path present the open requester,
change the path to Temp: and save the document with the name AS. No SaveAs
requester will be presented. Changing the command Save As to SaveAs should
work. With Text documents the SaveAs requester will show the path set by
the path command with ProWrite Documents the Path Command will not override
the path that the document was saved at and you would need to manually set
the path. This could be done by typing Temp: in front of the document name
in the save as requester.
With the new 3.3 version of ProWrite we have added a new SaveAsText AREXX
command that will allow you to create the following macro.
/* ProWrite to Text * /
Options Results /* Let's use variables
*/
Close /* Close Active Document
*/
SetPath "Docs: /* Set the Path
*/
do while RC = 0 /* Loop until Open is cancelled
*/
Open /* Present the Open Requester
*/
DocName /* Put the current Document Name in Result
*/
SaveAsText "Temp:" || Result /* Save as Text in Temp:
*/
Close /* Close the current Document
*/
end
Hope this helps
