The NetRexxScript plugin for jEdit is now available from "Plugin
Central" at the jEdit web site. That means that it can now be installed
directly using the Plugin Manager facility of jEdit. To install via
Plugin Manager, select Plugins=>Plugin Manager=>Install tab, check the
box for NetRexxScript and click the Install button. After install select
Macros=>Rescan Macros to make the provided NetRexx sample macros visible
in the Macros list.
The released version is 0.1.3 which is mainly a repackaging and bug fix
update. The only significant feature enhancement is a history list for
the console command line which allows you to select or scroll through
previous entries. For more detailed information, please check the
NetRexxScript help document on my scripting page:
http://kermitkiser.com/NetRexx/ScriptMany thanks to George Hovey who helped with the beta testing and found
most of the bugs! Also thanks to Eric Berry of the jEdit development
team who helped me work through the release packaging and setup struggles.

with parms and view say output or respond to ask input
