Script Files

m scripts and modules are just files stored on the file system of your phone. Since they are files, you can manipulate them using a file explorer application or using m, and transfer them to other devices.

These files are located in the document directory of the m application. This directory can be changed from within the application by navigating between folders (i.e., subdirectories).

Scripts have the file extension .m, modules the extension .mm, and compiled executables the extension .mex. For instance, the Partytime script might correspond to file c:\documents\mShell\Partytime.m. You can easily verify this from within a shell: open a shell (e.g. with mShell→New Shell) and try the following (you don't have to enter the comments starting with //):

// get the document directory from module system m>use system system.docdir → c:\documents\mShell\ // show the file contents type(system.docdir+"Partytime.m") → /*   A very simple m SMS   service: anybody sending   the keyword "party" will   get a standard reply. */ use sms

• Sending and Receiving m Files

Sending and Receiving m Files

• To send a file, either use mShell→Send As from the script list, or File→Save & Send As from the editor.
• To receive a file, simply have another device send it to you such that it appears in your inbox. Then run the inbox2m script. It scans your inbox for .m, .mm, .mex and .zip files, then shows the available files in a list. Select the ones you want to load into m.

  Since inbox2m supports .zip files and extracts them into the document directory, you can install entire packages with several scripts, modules and supporting files in one go.
