Notes
|
This is a very useful way to get information back from an active script without needing to dump it into a scrolling terminal. An example would be progress reports from a ZTM script.
Once a window has been created, its content can be modified with the 'setWindowContents' command. Terminating the script will automatically close the window.
Note that if you use of the "*" character in the window contents will create a new line in the window.

Example
|
# Create ZTM progress window - as managed in 1_ZTM.ts
window ztm 170 94 "ZTM" ONTOP
setWindowContents ztm "Perc Done:*Est Time:*Speed:*Up to:"
