Starting scripts

Basic scripts can be started from BasicMaker, TextMaker or PlanMaker:

Starting from BasicMaker

To execute a script, select the ribbon command Home | Program group | Start in BasicMaker or press the F9 key.

Starting from TextMaker or PlanMaker

You can also start a script from TextMaker or PlanMaker. To do this, select the ribbon command File | Scripts group | Start script in TextMaker or PlanMaker. A file dialog will appear. Select a script, confirm with OK and the script will be executed.

Starting from the command line

Alternatively, scripts can be started from the command line by entering BasicMaker /s scriptname.bas. BasicMaker will start, run the specified script and then close.

Aborting a script

You can abort running scripts by pressing the key combination Ctrl+Break. (If another application is in the foreground at this moment, switch to the BasicMaker application window first.)
