The formats of the StrongED_OpenDoc and StrongED_OpenView messages are:

  StrongED_OpenDoc  <filename> <parameters>
  StrongED_OpenView <parameters>

The StrongED_OpenDoc message is used to load a file into StrongED.
The StrongED_OpenView message is used to create additional views on a
text. It always relates to the last StrongED_OpenDoc message received.

You can store the messages in an obey file by prefixing each line with
'Message'. Which is a *command implemented by the Dialogue module that
comes with StrongED. It's purpose is to convert the remainder of the
line into a Wimp message that's then sent to StrongED.

Both messages understand the following parameters:

* -x0       <n> : x coordinate of topleft corner
* -y0       <n> : y coordinate of topleft corner
* -w        <n> : width of a view
* -h        <n> : height of a view
* -scrollx  <n> : x scroll offset
* -scrolly  <n> : y scroll offset
  -wordwrap     : if present, word wrap is on
  -charwrap     : if present, character wrap is on
  -autowrap     : if present, auto wrap is on
  -wrap     <n> : wrap width of view in characters
  -iconised     : if present, view is iconised (actually it's hidden)
  -offset   <n> : cursor offset in bytes from start of text
  -ftyp     <n> : 3 digit hex filetype of file displayed in view
  -readonly     : if present, text is write-protected
  -mode  <name> : mode used in the view
  -m1       <n> : mark position 1, offset from start of text
  -m2       <n> : mark position 2, offset from start of text
  -m3       <n> : mark position 3, offset from start of text
  -m4       <n> : mark position 4, offset from start of text

The items marked with a '*' may have their keywords omitted, but must
then be given in the right order of course.
