What is ToolManager? ******************** ToolManager is a flexible program to manage the tools in your working environment. It can start Workbench and CLI programs, ARexx scripts and generate HotKey events. It even can issue commands to a ToolManager running on a remote machine. The user interface consists of menus, icons or dock windows. If you like a noisy computer, you can associate a sound to each of these items. See Sound objects. ToolManager can add items to the Workbench Tools menu. If you select such a menu item, the program associated with it will be started. Every selected icon on the Workbench will be used as an argument for the program. This feature is only available when the Workbench is running. See Menu objects. ToolManager can add icons to the Workbench window. When you double-click such an icon, the program associated with it will be started. If you drop some icons on this icon, the program will be started with these icons as arguments. This feature is only available when the Workbench is running. See Icon objects. ToolManager can create a dock window from a collection of programs. This window can be opened on every public screen. Each program is represented by an image or a button gadget. To start a program you simply click on the image or the button gadget. If the dock window has been opened on the Workbench screen and the Workbench is running, you can also drop some icons on the image or the button gadget to start the program with arguments. See Dock objects. Additionally you can assign a Hot Key to each program. If you press this Hot Key, the program will be started. Note that no arguments can be passed to the program if you use this startup method. See Exec objects.
