Introduction
------------

Ever wanted to have fastlinks buttons in AWeb?  Now you have them!
AWeb Links offers this in a very intuitive way!

- interface created with reqtools requesters
  - fully controllable with mouse or keyboard
  - font sensitive
  - fast and *standard*!
- easy to use
- options to Follow, Add/Update or Delete a link
- link file (plain ascii) is in the same format of AWeb.hotlist
- (auto)download of rexxreqtools.library from Aminet if not available!

The idea of this program is born while using AddToHotList.aweb by Robert
Nienkemper.


Installation and requirements
-----------------------------

AWebLinks requires a version of AWeb with ARexx support.  All versions (1.2b
demo, 1.x shareware, 2.x and 3.x commercial) have it, except the demos.

It requires also reqtools.library and rexxreqtools.library.

To install it just copy AWebLinks.rexx where do you prefer (better place is
AWeb/Arexx).  The AWeb.links file will be created in AWeb's directory.

If you are using registered or commercial version of AWeb, assign
AWebLinks.rexx to a menu item (see AWeb manual).


Usage
-----

Usage is very simple:  just call the script (using menu item, hotkey or start
arexx option).

The first time you can only Add a link.  Next time it will be also possible
to remove or follow available link(s).


Brief instructions:

- start script.
- choose link to follow using mouse or keyboard.
- link is loaded with RELOAD (ignore local/proxy cache) option.

ADD/UPDATE a link

- move to URL to add.
- start script.

DELETE a link
