                              RWG A Salt Batch File

        Written By:  David Postler

        Here  is a batch file that I find very helpful when running  SALT
        scripts.   To  use you simply type:  rwg <file  name>  and  press
        enter.   DO  NOT  enter the file extension.  The  file  will  the
        standard  "SLT"  and "SLC" extensions.  The file first  calls  an
        editor  for the script file.  After you exit the editor  it  will
        try  to compile the script file.  It will store the results in  a
        file  called RWG.ERR and then display the results on the  screen.
        A  undocumented feature is that CS will give an  errorlevel  when
        the  script does not compile.  If there is an error it will  give
        the  option to break out of the batch file or to edit the  script
        file again.  If your editor has options for opening more than one
        file  at  a  time  you can look at the  RWG.ERR  file  to  remind
        yourself  of the error.  If the file compiles without  errors  it
        will  run Telix calling the script using the "s"  option.   After
        exiting  Telix  you will have another chance to edit  the  script
        file.   The batch file should be fairly self explanatory  as  rem
        statements were used liberally.

                                      Notes
        I have had some problems with Telix running the script as called.
        After  rereading  the  manual  and  checking  I  cannot  see  any
        problems, Suggestions?

        The editor called in this batch file is Wordstar 5.5.

        I also welcome any suggestions or comments and will try to answer
        questions.   You  can  find  me on  the  FidoNet  Telix  echo  or
        occasionally(once/month) on the Telix BBS.
