There is more than one method, although they are not very different. There
is John Delacour's method, which requires 'as <<class psn >>' and uses a
variable to represent the application. And there is Emmanuel levy's method
as outlined in the Smile Help pages, which does not require <<class psn >>
and uses a variable for the application's _name_ instead.
JD's Method:
Pros:
Always effective
Cons:
A little complicated (difficult)
Methods for getting raw codes not described
EL's Method:
Pros:
Always effective (JD never came up with a case that wouldn't work,
when challenged)
Easy
VERY easy method for getting raw codes in Smile
Cons:
None
I gave directions (URLs, Help pages) to getting to the detailed descriptions
of both methods in my last post in this thread.
Smile gives BY FAR the easiest method for actually getting the raw codes, so
it is a Pro rather than a Con that you have to get Smile to read the
description of the method. Either method, you're going to want Smile for
getting raw codes since the alternatives (messing around with Eighty Lister
or buying OneClick) are not worth considering, in comparison.
