I just started working with DigiPaint's (DP) AREXX stuff. The only documentation is the demo program and the appendix listing the commands. The descriptions seem too brief but each one is an exact duplicate of a keyboard/mouse command. So the simple, but kinda' tedious, method is to note each and every action you take to do something with the mouse then find it's equivalent command. So, yes, you can do what you describe. The only "gotcha" I've found is that when DP starts it has default tools selected – for the mouse. A macro has no default tools so the must be explicitly selected before you can draw. An AREXX macro record feature would be dandy and oughta be trivial to make if my hunch about DP's design is right. The control panel is a separate screen and it's my guess that the control panel is a separate task that sends those exact commands documented in the appendix to the rendering task. It would be cake to also send those commands out to a text file. —
