Introduction
Multiview can read any file for which there is a descriptor file in Devs:Datatypes. These tell Multiview (and any other programs written to take advantage of datatypes) how to load the various types of files.
Command line arguments
- FILE
- Filename you want to be displayed/played by Multiview.
- CLIPBOARD/S
- CLIPUNIT/K/N
- SCREEN/S
- PUBSCREEN/K
- REQUESTER/S
- BOOKMARK/S
- FONTNAME/K
- FONTSIZE/K/N
- CHARSET/K
- BACKDROP/S
- WINDOW/S
- PORTNAME/K
- IMMEDIATE/S
- REPEAT/S
- PRTUNIT/K/N
- WINDOWLEFT/K/N,WINDOWTOP/K/N,WINDOWWIDTH/K/N,WINDOWHEIGHT/K/N
- AUTORESIZE/S
Command line examples
Multiview...
ARexx Commands
OPEN
NAME/K,CLIPBOARD/S,CLIPUNIT/K/N Open a file, or the contents of the specified clipboard unit.

ABOUT
Display a requester with information about the current object.
QUIT
Quit MultiView.
MARK
Start Mark mode.
COPY
Copy the currently selected block (or the whole object if no selected block exists) to the clipboard.
PASTE
UNIT/N Open the contents of the specified clipboard unit. PASTE <n> is a shortcut for OPEN CLIPBOARD CLIPUNIT <n>.
CLEARSELECTED
Deselect the currently selected block, if one exists.
GETTRIGGERINFO
VAR/S,STEM/K Provide a list of trigger methods that the current object supports.
VAR causes the information to be returned in RESULT.
STEM causes the information to be returned in the named stem variable. The following values are supported:

SNAPSHOT
Save the current window position to ENVARC:MultiView/<screen name>.
GETCURRENTDIR
Return the current directory for the current object.
GETFILEINFO
Get the file information for the current object.
GETOBJECTINFO
VAR/S,STEM/K Return information about the current object.
VAR causes the information to be returned in RESULT.

STEM causes the information to be returned in the named stem variable.
stem.filename file name of the current object. stem.name object type name. stem.basename object type basename. stem.group object type group. stem.id object type id.
MINIMUMSIZE
Resize the object's window to its minimum size.
NORMALSIZE
Resize the object's window to its nominal size.
MAXIMUMSIZE
