scripting lazarus commands from external programs

[David Emerson]

I see that in KDE I can drag-n-drop files from konqueror onto the
lazarus source editor.

What I'd really like to do is "drop" a file into the source editor from
the command line (of an xterm). How would I go about doing so?

Thanks,
David.

Select the text in the xterm, then middle click in the source
editor.

Select the text in the xterm, then middle click in the source
editor.

When I do this, the name of the selected file is pasted into the open
source.

Any mouse-free method?

As a workaround, I'm trying to figure out how to create an XDND event
from the command-line ... but ... there must be a better way!

Cheers,
David.

On Windows you'd have to call a program that sends a WM_DROPFILES
message to Lazarus. Dunno about Linux.
