Creating an Action that Runs Another Action

Use dtaction in the EXEC_STRING of the action.

For example, the following action uses a built-in action named Spell (the action is labeled ``Check Spelling'' in Application Manager). The new action runs Text Editor and the Spell action, displaying the spelling errors in a separate terminal emulator window.

ACTION EditAndSpell
 {
 	WINDOW_TYPE				NO_STDIO
 	EXEC_STRING				/bin/sh -c 'dtaction Spell \
 								%Arg_1"File:"%; dtpad %Arg_1%'
 }
