REXX Scripting Basics

Photo>Graphics PRO has been enabled to allow users such as yourself to create REXX command files (scripts) that run within Photo>Graphics PRO and perform much of the same function as available through the mouse oriented User Interface.

It is a prerequisite that you are familiar with OS/2 REXX before you use the functions that Photo>Graphics PRO provides.

The online OS/2 REXX Reference is of great assistance while creating Rexx programs. There is a huge amount of function made accessible through the REXX interface and it would be very easy for someone unfamiliar with basic REXX programming to become lost in the multitude of functions.

Listed in this manual are all the functions that are available for use in Photo>Graphics PRO REXX scripts.

It is advisable to first examine the Samples provided both in this manual and included with the program in the SCRIPTS directory.

Before starting to create scripts or getting too deeply into this manual the following information is essential:

- Data types
- Error Handling in Scripts
- Running Scripts
- Writing Scripts
