input redirection question
Hi,

in my script I need to execute the following command:

query $id 456 432

but it waits for a RETURN character from keyboard and therefore, it fails. I tried something like:

query $id 456 432 << '\n'

but, i'ts clear it is not correct. Is there any way to do this?

Thxs.

strokes

STROKES(5)							File Formats Manual							STROKES(5)

NAME

       Strokes - X(1) action invocation with simple mouse movements

DESCRIPTION

       What are strokes?  Simply put, they are a method to invoke program actions with mouse drags.  They are defined by the following grid:

			   1 2 3
			   4 5 6
			   7 8 9

       Stroke  456  is	the horizontal movement from left to right with the stroke button pressed.  Holding down the stroke button and tracing out
       the letter `C' would be stroke 3214789.	Simple, right?

       The Stroke library allows you to add strokes to any X(1) program with one simple function call, StrokeInstall(3). For example:

		   W = XmCreateMessageDialog(Parent,
			"StrokeEnabledDialog",
			NULL, 0);
		   StrokeInstall(W);

       will enable strokes in the dialog W.

       When a stroke is entered the action corresponding to the stroke is called.  For the above example the action `Stroke-456' would	be  called
       when `456 is stroked'.

       In order to specify a different action you can specify this with the `strokes' resource for the Widget that the strokes have been installed
       in. So `*StrokeEnabledDialog.strokes: 456 ManagerGadgetSelect' would call the ManagerGadgetSelect action of the message dialog when 456	is
       stroked. The exact syntax is:

       Resource.strokes: stroke action [[,stroke action]...]

   Resources
       strokes: stroke action [[,stroke action]...]
	      This provides a mapping of strokes to actions.  By default the action `Stroke-456' is called for stroke `456'.

       strokeSlop: int
	      This  is	used  to  define  a buffer zone between the boxes of the grid.	The amount of slop tolerated is actually the resulting box
	      dimension divided by this slop number. Therefore the larger the slop number the  more  accurate  your  strokes  must  be.   A  value
	      approaching  3 will make it all but impossible to recognize a stroke.  The default value is currently 20.  Run the stroke(1) program
	      with StrokeDebug turned on to show what this means.

       strokeDebug: True | False
	      Turns on `stroke debug mode'.  In this mode the strokes are not erased from the screen when the button is released  and  a  grid	is
	      drawn around the stroke.	Try the stroke(1) program to see what I mean.

       strokeButton: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5
	      Specifies the button to be used to draw strokes. By default Btn3 is used.

       strokeSound: sound file
	      If  given,  the contents of this resource will be provided as an argument to the `PlaySound' action at the conclusion of the stroke.
	      If the PlaySound action is not defined in your application do not specify this resource.	Specifically the following call is made:

	      XtCallActionProc(W, "PlaySound", NULL, "sound file", 1);
