Note

WhereScape RED supports the use of keyboard shortcuts—the underlined letter of a menu option. For example, pressing P opens the Properties window of the selected table, pressing D deletes the script metadata, etc. Ensure that the Windows > Control Panel > Ease of Access setting associated with keyboard shortcuts is enabled, to display keyboard shortcuts in RED. Refer to the relevant MS Windows documentation for details.

Scripts stored in your RED Metadata can be referenced from other Scripts at run-time using token replacement. This is also known as Script Sourcing in RED.

# Trigger the RED Script Sourcing feature 
# Note: This line could also be commented out as the
#       presence of the token is all that is required
#       for RED to trigger the script to be written to
