OVERVIEW:
wMakeWB is a companion program to wIconify. It allows you to specify any
screen as the current WB screen from the CLI, just as though you pulled
wIconify's MAKE WB menu item. It is intended mainly for use within the
Startup-Sequence and within EXECUTE scripts.
HOW TO USE WMAKEWB:
To use wMakeWB you must have wIconify running. Then, to change the current
WB screen, issue the CLI command
1> wMakeWB [screen]
where [screen] is the name of the screen you want to make the WB screen.
You need only type as much of the name as necessary to identify it to
wIconify. If the name includes spaces, then be sure to enclose the entire
name in quotation marks. For example:
1> wMakeWB "Test Screen"
would make the screen named 'Test Screen' (or the first screen whose title
begins with the words 'Test Screen') into the current WB screen; any windows
that would normally open on the Workbench screen would open on the Test
Screen instead.
Upper- and lower-case letters are not distingushed by wMakeWB, so you could
also type WMAKEWB 'TEST Screen' or WMAKEWB 'tESt scrEEN' and get the same
result as the example above.
To specify a screen that has no title, use quotes with no letters
inbetween. I.e.,
1> WMAKEWB ""
If you do not specify a screen name, wMakeWB will use the currently active
screen by default.
