Margaret, a suggestion: you have ARexx, right? If so, you could work up a
macro that would automatically save whatever you wanted under one 'name',
whatever that was savable via ARexx, at least.
For instance, after starting the macro you would be asked for a dir and
file name, say "DH1:BOB", for example. The macro would then proceed to
save the main image, the palette, the blends, etc… anything that really
has a 'save xxx' command in ARexx. All would be saved to your dir, with
the name 'DH1:BOB.BLEND, DH1:BOB.24, DH1:BOB.XXX, etc'.
There would be a corresponding LOAD macro that would automatically load
these various items back into IP. As much as possible of the system setup
would be saved/restored.
Question is, is enough of the setup info available via ARexx to make this
worthwhile? I'd have to peruse the ARexx section of the manual (if I ever
get it 🙂 before I could answer that.
Finally, I'd be willing to take an initial cut at such a macro set for you,
if it sounds useful. Would be an interesting project. Just a thought….
