There is no direct function call to access switch values defined in
the editor, such as rmargin or vscroll or hike, in your C Extension.
However, you can find the value by using fExecute() to switch to the
help file, then use the psearch or msearch functions to locate
rmargin. At the end of that line you will find the value associated
with rmargin.
The following is an example:
fExecute("Arg \"<assign>\" Setfile"); /* switch to "<assign>" file */
fExecute("Mark"); /* go to beginning of it */
fExecute("Arg \"rmargin\" Psearch"); /* search for "rmargin" */
fExecute("Pword"); /* get the number after it */
You also can use the GetLine() function to read through the <assign>
file; this method involves more coding, but it will run faster than
using fExecute() to execute macros.
