echo Stuffkey error examples, generated by Stufferr.bat
echo.
echo EXAMPLE 1: THE COMMA FOLLOWING THE PROMPT PROBABLY SHOULDN'T BE
echo THERE. THIS MAKES THE FIRST ARG, DX (COLUMN) 0, AND SHIFTS THE
echo REMAINING ARGS LEFT. THUS, THE 0 CHANGES FROM A LEGAL DY (ROW) ARG
echo TO AN ILLEGAL SLOP ARGUMENT. NOTE THE ARROW POINTS TO THE ARG AFTER
echo THE ERROR; A QUIRK TO BE AWARE OF.
echo.
stuffkey +0 +1 {Prompt},12,0,4,"Password: " 'Poltergeist' 13
echo.
echo.
echo EXAMPLE 2: THE 128 DX (COLUMN) ARG. IS ILLEGAL. VALUES ARE +/- 127.
echo.
stuffkey +0 +1 {Prompt}128,0,4,"Password: " 'Poltergeist' 13
echo.
echo.
echo EXAMPLE 3: A SPACE IS A LEGAL TOKEN, LEADING SPACES ARE NOT.
echo.
stuffkey +0 { } {F12} { F12}
echo.
echo.
echo EXAMPLE 4: THE TRAILING SPACE CAUSES THIS TOKEN TO BE UNRECOGNIZED. NOTE
echo THE DIFFERENCES IN THE ERROR LOCATION POINTER BETWEEN INVALID TOKENS AND
echo UNRECOGNIZED TOKENS/COMMANDS.
echo.
stuffkey +0 { } {F12} {F12 }
echo.
echo.
echo EXAMPLE 5: TIME FORMAT CAN BE HH:MM:SS OR .TT, BUT NOT BOTH
echo.
stuffkey + +.1 +1 +1.1 F0,1,1920,"Cshow version" + +1 13"*.gif"13
echo.
echo.
echo EXAMPLE 6: THE FIND COMMAND COORDINATES START AT 1,1 NOT 0,0.
echo.
stuffkey + +.1 +1 F0,1,1920,"Cshow version" + +1 13"*.gif"13
echo.
echo.
echo EXAMPLE 7: THE QUOTES AFTER THE 13 MAKE IT LOOK LIKE A BAD NUMBER. IT IS
echo A GOOD IDEA TO LEAVE A SPACE BETWEEN ITEMS.
echo.
stuffkey + +.1 +1 F1,1,1920,"Cshow version" + +1 13"*.gif"13
echo.
echo.



echo EXAMPLE 8: NOTE THE LOCATION OF THE ERROR POINTER.
