ReadMe.TXT for VXAMBMP 
======================

Disclaimer:

This sample code is intended solely to illustrate some of the features
of VX-REXX.  The code is provided "AS-IS" without guarantee as to
correctness or completeness.

Description:

This code is an example of using VX-REXX with the REXX support of Ami
Pro for OS/2.  The sample contains a VX-REXX macro which when invoked
from Ami Pro allows you to choose a bitmap to be inserted into your
document.  The function is similar to Ami Pro's File/Import Picture menu
item except that you can view the bitmap picture before it is inserted
into your document.

Installation:

This code requires VX-REXX version 2.0a and Ami Pro 3.0 for OS/2.

To install VXAMBMP.ZIP, change to your \AMIPRO\MACROS directory and use
the UNZIP command to unpack the macro.  This will create
\AMIPRO\MACROS\VXAMBMP containing the VX-REXX source and macro.

Run the VXAMBMP.SMM file from Ami Pro to install an "Import bitmap" menu
item in the File menu.  (Run it from Tools/Macros/Playback or assign a
short cut to the macro and press the short cut key.  If you use the
short cut key you can more easily show the AmiPro File menu
before/after).

Select File/Import bitmap to run the VX-REXX created macro.  (Note that
the first time a macro is run the VX-REXX system is initialized.  After
that only the macro needs to be executed and it runs more quickly).

You can remove the File/Import bitmap menu item by running the Ami Pro
macro VXAMBMPX.SMM.
