DESCRIPTION:    CW IDE Editor Macro 
COMMENTS:       MACROSPL.ZIP has a bad bug, delete it !

*************************** Splat **************************
Splat is a result of frustration in waiting for a persistent 
macro feature in the ClarionIDE. It's "working for me!", but 
I cannot guaranteeit will for you. It currently has been 
tested onClarion 4a and CFW2003 running WIN95. If you use it, 
it is at your own risk. Author is not responsible for any 
damages incurred as a result of it's use.

Once running, it remains minimized until you open an embed 
point, CLW file or TPW file and then it will restore 
automatically as a "toolbar". It will minimizeif Clarion loses 
focus and restore when gaining. This first incarnation is 
lacking in a lot of features that I'm hoping to add in the future. 
Since I'm not sure what direction this thing is going in yet, 
I've put an expiration date of 8/1/98 in it (I'm not sure if 
it's Y2K compliant :). I'll put another one up before then.


Features ****************************************************
Here are some of the new ... I mean few features:

o  Is in view only when usable (in the editor windows).
o  Handles indenting, even when cutting and "splatting"
   other code.
o  Comes with some macros already on it so you can see
   what you can do.
o  Add, delete or insert macros.
o  Resizable window.
o  Makes an irritating splat noise when you use it.
   (You can turn it off :)


Future Features *********************************************

o  Record macros (You have to hand code them now)
o  Assign Hotkeys to macros
o  IDE macros
o  Class or Kind of macros (IDE, Clarion source, Template)
o  Dynamic variable substitution
o  Customization features (other noises :)
o  Other emailed suggestions


Tips ********************************************************

o  To stop Splat while minimized, right click it's button 
   on the taskbar and click close.
o  To permanently disable the splat noise, delete the splat.wav
   file.
o  All special keystrokes are named the same name as those found
   in the KEYCODES.CLW file. Use the syntax {TabKey} for a tab key
   etc...  (See that file or some of the macro examples for 
   examples :)
o  Tooltips work. Use them to figure out the hieroglyphics buttons.


Known Problems ***********************************************
o  Splat expects the "Indent new line" feature in the editor to be
   on. Unsightly results happen otherwise.
o  Splat sometimes minimizes on macro execution (but it comes right
   back).
