Basics
---------
This program allows you to put a button bar for executing ARexx scripts,
CLI programs, WorkBench programs, and/or Amiga DOS scripts on any public
screen (actually, you could put several on each screen). Buttons may be
arranged in rows, columns, across the top and bottom of a screen, down
the sides of a screen, or framing a screen. You may specify text or
image buttons, colored backgrounds, image backgrounds..the possibilities
are limited only by your imagination.
To create a new toolbar, just copy this program and icon to a
new name, configure it using MUI and the builtin configuration options,
and you can "instantly" have a toolbar for any screen/application you
desire. The buttons support shortcut keys by specifying an underscore
ahead of the character in the label you wish to make the shortcut.
Example: _Yam for a button label makes "y" the shortcut
Note: if you specify more than one label with the same shortcut key, then
all of them will be started. This CAN be used to your advantage.
There is bubble help available for all gadgets, lists, etc. Place the
pointer above the item and wait;)
Requirements
---------------
This program uses MUI ©1992-97 by Stefan Stuntz. If you don't have it,
get it from Aminet:
mui38usr.lha util/libs
I suggest you also get WBRun by Sylvain Rougier & Pierre Carrette
from Aminet
util/cli/WBRun_fix.lha
and install it for use with the WBRun option in URB. This allows
running Workbench programs from a CLI and using its TOOLTYPES.
