        ASA Mover is the program used to easily modify the file describing
the menu for ASA version 3.10 or higher and APA version 1.00 and higher.

        This is a brand new version of ASA Mover, and its look as well as
its interface have been profoundly changed.  When you start the program, a
first window is opened.  This is the typical menu editing window that will
be opened whenever you want to edit a new level of menu.


        The window has three gadgets (buttons): [1mCreate[0m to create a new item,
[1mEdit[0m let you edit an existing item and [1mDelete[0m delete selected items.  Let's
see how each gadget works in detail:

        - [1mCreate[0m : A setting window opens and let you select
                   options for the item.  If you select [1mCancel[0m
                   the creation is canceled...  The new item
                   always appears after the item you last sel-
                   ected, or at the beginning if none is.

        - [1mEdit[0m :  Let you edit ALL selected items.  To cancel
                   changes made to one item, select [Cancel[0m.

        - [1mDelete[0m : Delete all selected items in the window and
                   all its sub-items (and sub-sub-items...).


        Here's now a brief description of the settings window.  It contains
many gadgets:


[1mFile[0m

        If selected, a file requester will open up when this item is select-
ed to choose additionnal arguments to the command.


[1mWB, CLI et No I/O[0m

        These three buttons let you choose which environnement the program
will run under.  WB gives a WorkBench like environnement (like when you
click on its icon).  CLI starts the program like if it was a CLI, with an
output window.  No I/O is like CLI, but with no input/output window.  Some
programs don't like this setting...


[1mMenu Text[0m

        The text that will appear in the menu for this item.


[1mCommand[0m

        The program that will be launch when this item will be selected. It
can be leaved blank so nothing will happen (for a dumb item).  You must spe-
cify the whole path to the program so that ASA (or APA) can find it:

                for example:

                        My_Disk:my_drawer/program_name

[1mArguments[0m

        The arguments that will always be given to the prgram.  These argu-
ments are placed BEFORE any other chosen in the file requester.


[1mDirectory[0m

        Let you select the default directory (cd) for the program. Useful
for unarchiver (like Arc, Zoo, ....).


[1mStack[0m

        The amount of stack given to the program.  Most will be happy with
the default 6K, but some needs more.  For example, NewMovie needs 16K (it
will usually be pointed out in their documentation).


[1mShort Cut[0m

        The keyboard short-cut for this item.  Short-cut can be either one
letter or two letters long.  The short-cut are checked when you release the
keys, so that Amiga-AS and Amiga-A are different, but Amiga-CC and Amiga-C
are the same because you must release the K to enter the seond one.


[1mReq's Dir[0m

        The directory that the requester will open on.


[1mOk[0m

        Confirm the changes made to the settings.


[1mCancel[0m

        Undo all changes to the item.


        The only thing remaining now are the menus of the windows.  The [1mEdit[0m
menu let you cut and paste selected items.  Very useful to move some items
around...


        The [1mProject[0m menu let you open and save the configuration file that
describe the menu.  It also contain an item to open the preference window
where you can choose which key is used for the menu short-cuts.  The minX
, MaxX, etc... are used to set which area of the screen is active for ASA,
but it has no meaning for APA.
