- and a hotkey to bring the rearmost screen to the front.

- -+- Usage -+-
-
- Either put it in WBStartup or put it in your user-startup. There is no
- need to run it as FlipIt will detach itself from the CLI.
-
- FlipIt understands the following ToolTypes/cli arguments.
- CX_Priority= see your WorkBench manuals for explaination
- BACKTOFRONT=<hotkey> hoykey to bring the back screen to the front
- default is 'rawkey rcommand down'

- default is 'rawkey rcommand up'
-
- To quit FlipIt, send it a kill message from the Cx Exchange, send it a
- ctrl-c with a TaskX like program, or just run it again.
-
- NOTE: 1) There is no help available from the CLI.
- 2) If there are any errors, can't open libraries, can't create
- broker, etc there will be no error messages given, FlipIt
