Well since this is post 7,000 for me I thought I'd give the noobie scripter something to help him/her get started using KiXtart.

This visual aide assumes you have already downloaded KiXart and have extracted WKIX32.EXE into a folder called C:\MYSCRIPTS

Where one stores the executables for writing and testing KiXtart scripts is not important and is only used in this location for demonstration purposes.

Really good Doc. Maybe you should make one of those for each FAQ as well

It was my first try at using Captivate by Macromedia.

Can't control everything to quite the detail I'd like so had to redo screens a few times to get it sort of the way it should be. But at least hopefully it will help answer the question of how to use/run KiXtart for some.
 
Yeah if I get time I want to maybe do some for the How Do I Use a UDF

Doc, that was pretty good, but If I was watching that and had just discovered Kix and had not read the manual, I would have no idea what the heck you were typing. May I suggest pop ups that say "This is a Macro", "This is a string" etc.

Or not just my .02 worth

Thanks for the feedback Gargoyle but this "at least to me" was more for HOW TO RUN / LAUNCH a script. Not so much what it does or what a script is, etc...

I've been around here for a long time now and one of the most often asked questions seems to be HOW DO I RUN KIXTART
Meaning how do they get off the ground.

I do plan to elaborate and make other videos in the future that will address what you're speaking of though.

Thanks again.

WOW. Cool stuff. Still a basic example but it's a start. Would indeed be helpfull for the FAQ's.

Just DL-ed the 30 day trial version, just to mess around a bit.

Nice side effect:

I learned today that one can launch a Kixtart script by dragging it onto wkix32.exe. Wasn't aware of that

Default windows behavior.

Same as dragging a .txt file onto notepad.exe or a .doc file onto winword.exe or a .xls file onto excel.exe, etc....

I hear you Jochen me too. Rarely use the mouse for such myself, but I know most noobie young guns don't know the dos console and are lost in it.
