Send command to dialog handling system

DESCRIPTION:

Sends a command line to the dialog handling system subprocess, passing the message off to the lower-level psend function. Generally, it shouldnt be necessary to call this function directly.

Note: This function is deprecated. For more information, see .

USAGE:

dialog.send(message, ...) 

REQUIRED ARGUMENTS:

message
character vector of messages to send to the dialog handling system.

OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS:

...
arguments to be passed through to the lower-level psend function.

SIDE EFFECTS:

Causes message(s) to be sent to the external process managing the dialog handling system.

DETAILS:

Provides a set of functions for manipulating the dialog handling system. Calling dialog.send directly without going through the standard interface functions can lead to unpredictable results.

This function uses the process class object stored in the session database by dialog.start to designate the process being used. That value along with the arguments to dialog.send are passed off to the psend routine to send a message to the process.
