pOpUp MaGiC v.5 Beta === Short Documentation ===
requires that AMIRC: be assigned to your amirc directory.
and popups: assigned to your popups directory
the installer script will install the popups: assign but won't
take effect til next reboot.  Do it by hand if you want to use it right away.


PURPOSE:
--------
 For Fun - Entertainment of Friends - Displaying personalized messages by using macros.
 Contains Kicks, greets, Love, Funny and a variety of other popups.  500+ Popups included
 in the archive.


INSTALLTION:
------------

Method 1:

 Use the enclosed Installation Script

Method 2:

 1. Copy popupmagic.amirx to AMIRC:rexx/

 2. In LIBS: you need rexxreqtools.library which you can download from AMINET 
             which is located: RexxReqTools.lha   util/rexx   65K 247 1.3 - requester for ARex

 3. Assign popups: to the directory you have all the popups in.  I have Assign Popups: Amirc:popups


 4.  Create a button for Amirc or an Alias

     a. As a Button I use gave it the name pOpUps  and the action it takes is /rx popupmagic.amirx

     b. As an Alias you can easily do /pop /rx popupmagic.amirx



USAGE:
------
  Click on a username  and hit your button or type your alias(Button really works better)
  then select from the directory listing of popups.  Some Popups may bring up a requester 
  where you can type in a message.  What you put in this depends on each popup.  Try them
  out is the only way to know what to say.

  Any popup ending in -Msg  lets you put in a message  Often you can do things like ==== Message text /====/
  and your message text that you type would appear in the middle.

 
CREATING POPUPS:
----------------
This is rather easy here too.  Create a empty text file name is whatever you want the popup to be called
then place your text into it.  

ie.  /me hits $1 with a wet noodle.

Do NOT use Control-M to end your text(this seems to cause problems at this time)


MACRO DEFINITIONS IN POPUPS:
----------------------------

Standard PC Control-C / Control-K color codes are utilized in the text to display color to 
IRC Programs that support color.

The Following Macros are acknowledged by the Popup interpreter (which is 100% written in arexx)

   $1         |  This is replaced by Selected Nick
   $$1        |  This is replaced by Selected Nick 
   $2         |  This is replaced by 2nd user in the user list
   $3         |  This is replaced by 3rd user in the user list
   $4         |  This is replaced by 4th user in the user list
   $5         |  This is replaced by 5th user in the user list

   $me        |  This is replaced by your Nick in the text.
   $chan      |  This is replaced by the Channel Name in the text.
   $$?        |  This causes a message requester to appear and the $$? is replaced by what you type in that requester.  Best to keep messages short.
   .timer     |  Timer is only recognized if it is last in the line  it causes a delay before the next line is displayed.
   /timer 1 5 |  would activate a 5 second timer once... 2 5 would do 10 seconds  i left it as 2 lines to keep 
	         mirc compatiblity even though i don't treat it in exactly the same way.  It also must be the only function on a line for it to work.
   $day	      |  Current Weekday
   $month     |  Current Month
   $fulldate  |  The FUll date
   $me        |  Your Current nick
   $time      |  The Current time
   $?="ques"  |  would display to the user a question box asking for "Ques"  or whatever you replace there.  The popup
		 then replaces the entire $?="aslkdjflkjdsafj" with what they answer.
   $+         |  This is not implimented.
   $!         |  This is not implimented


Any irc command is avaiable through it such as

DO_NOTS:
--------
DO not USE $R or $Q in any of your popups.  These are currently reserved for the Rainbow messages.
Will be implimenting other macros in future versions of pOpUp MaGiC.


AFTER INSTALLATION:
-------------------
theres a few Aliases that you may enjoy.  in the popups: directory pop popupmagicaliases-POPMEFIRST

this will add the following commands to your line

/smile
/angel
/mad
/kiss
/rose [nick]
/brb
/wb
/lol
/sad

after you do this, save your default settings if you like them.



ALSO TWO Special popups exist in the main part of the POPUPS: directory
--------
RAINBOW  -- 	Run this and a message requester will popup. Type your message in it and it will assign each word a 
		seperate color and display it
and

RAINBOW2 -- 	Run this and a message requester will popup.  Type your message in it and it will change each 
		character to a different color, bold it and display on a black background.
