ARPUS/ce, Version 2.6.2 (03/10/05) (SCCS 1.6) _______________________________________________________________________________ rec [-p] [<pathname>] "Record Commands" DESCRIPTION: 'rec' instructs 'ce' to begin recording commands from keystrokes to the named file or paste buffer. 'rec' with no parameters turns command recording off. If recording is already on and a 'rec' command with parameters is found. The current recording is terminated and a new recording started. Commands are recorded in cmdf format, so a command sequence can be replayed using the cmdf command. -p This option specifies that <pathname> is a paste buffer such as is created by an 'xc <name>'. When using -p there is a limit of 8192 characters of record data allowed. If -p is specified without <pathname>, the default unnamed paste buffer is used. Commands recorded using the -p option can be played back with cmdf -p. NOTES: 1. Mouse movement is tracked by generating relative motion "[<num>,<num>]" commands. The positioning commands are generated when commands are generated. 2. All generated positioning is done via relative commands. Thus a command sequence can be recorded in one place in a file and played back somewhere else. Of course, if the command sequence recorded contains absolute position commands such as pt;tt;tl or [5,5], an absolute position is recorded. 3. When command recording is on, a lower case 'r' appears in the title bar area.
