Special tags can be added to your messages. The reader can then
invoke this script and get the programming references listed in
the message window.

For example: If I added the line in a message:

  "...you can get more info reading auto:dos/close()."

the reader could invoke the script and it would look up the function
Close() in the dos autodoc file and show it in the window. Same goes
for FD files and include files.

PURPOSE

	The main purpose for this package is to simplify exchanging
	references and programming information on the Internet, escpecially
	for the newsgroup comp.sys.amiga.programmers.

INSTALLING:

	- Copy the script to Thor/rexx.
	- Optionally install it on a function key
	- Modify the config in the script to suit your system (paths etc.)

USAGE:

	Next time someone use the tags AUTO:, FD: or INC: you can invoke
	the script and it will show you the information for the
	references.

	To add a tag you can use:

	AUTO:LIBRARY/FUNCTION
	FD:LIBRARY/FUNCTION
	INC:PATH/FILENAME

	The case doesn't matter. Library is only the base name without the
	extension. You can mix as many as you want in the text and on the
	same line. You can add () to the functions or just leave it without.

	Examples:

		auto:dos/read()
		auto:exec/OpenLibrary
		fd:graphics/setapen
		inc:exec/memory.i

	etc.
