    Hi,
    does anyone use the great "Meridian" gesturecontrolsoftware?
    what are your settings?
    can you start ordinary programs or execute scripts?
    here it seems to lack these features...

    I love those two ;-)

    rx "address voyager GoForward"
    rx "address voyager GoBackward"

    The WB-Mode does not work with MorphOS.
    You'd have to use a wbrun command in CLI-Mode.

    Small notes about it, so that you don't encouter the problems I had:

    . Sending a key is not working correctly (the key seems to be sent endlessly)
    . CloseWindow command doesn't work

    According to the Meridian author:

    "These are confirmed MorphOS input.device bugs."

    Nothing hurts a project more than developers not taking the time to let their community know what is going on.

    Those are only some problems. There are other commands which have the same trouble, because they use the same input.device functions. e.g. "IEvent".

    Also the MouseClick may fail, but there is minimum use in Meridian for this. Those extensions are implemented for MMKeyboard and the IRTrans support.

    >rx scriptname.rexx

    This may no work because the path (!!) is (may be) not available. The Path-Cloning feature is located in the wbstart.library is IMHO at full OS3.1 state.

    You need to add proper path information for letting the DOS find the stuff.

    e.g. "rx s:rexx/scriptname.rexx"

    @GMKai

    Perhaps you've a "broken" arexx-installation ?
    Maybe you still have mossys:c/rx (ppc) and Meridian
    finds this first, and shell uses c:rx (68k) ?

    @GMKai

    Does it work for other things ? Window/Screencommands?
    How do you test it ?
    My first fault was that I expected it to run while
    preferences are open ... but they have to be closed.

    The first versions did that, but it wasn't very handy. Just imaging defining an gesture that is already defined and the screen flips away. Not very funny. :)

    It works like any other preferences. Only afer use/save the new setup will be used for operation.
