3. TScript title line

The first non-blank line of the TScript file is special! It serves to provide the Information servers with the description of this particular entry. The title line can also allow you to nest into sub-directories easily. This allows sub-menus very painlessly.

The title line can start with preceeding spaces or tabs (they are ignored). This allows you to center the line, since this is the first line displayed to the user. The rest of the title line will be displayed as the file's description in the Information Server menu.

The title line is also used by the TScript command that allows you to send a mail message. The title line is used as the subject of all these mail messages.

If the title line starts with a tilde (~), it expects a line of this format:


          ~ subdir description

The 'subdir' is the name of a sub-directory within that directory. This allows you to define one-line files that make nested sub-menus.

Outside of the Information Servers, the first line of the TScript file has no special significance, other than that already mentioned involving mail files.
