lister set <handle> newprogress [name] [file] [info] [info2] [info3] [bar] [abort]

This turns the progress indicator on for the specified lister.
This is similar to the old  lister set progress  command, but allows
greater control over the information displayed.

 handle  is the handle of the lister in question.
(If you don't want to open the progress window over a lister, use the
 dopus progress  command instead.)

        name   - allocates space for filename display
        file   - allocates space for file progress display
        info   - allocates space for information line 1
        info2  - allocates space for information line 2
        info3  - allocates space for information line 3
        bar    - allocates space for progress bar
        abort  - adds "Abort" gadget

Progress windows that show both the bar graph and the file progress will
have the graph and file displays swapped around. This means that instead of
the graph showing the percentage of files copied, and a 'xx%' display
showing the progress of that file, the graph shows the file progress and a
'xxx of yyy' display gives overall information.

For example,
        + lister set 121132636 newprogress name file info bar abort


 The following commands are for use once your progress window is open. 


lister set <handle> newprogress name <filename>

If the progress bar was opened with the name parameter, this will set the
current filename to  filename .

For example,
        + lister set 121132636 newprogress name 'myfile.txt'


lister set <handle> newprogress file <total> <count>

If the progress indicator was opened with the file but not the bar
parameter, this will set the total number of files and the number of the
current file. This is shown as 'xx%' in the top right of the requester.

If the progress indicator was opened with both the file and bar parameters,
this will set the total number of bytes and the current byte count. This is
shown in the bar graph part of the requester.

        + lister set 121132636 newprogress file 12 4


lister set <handle> newprogress <info|info2|info3> <text>

 text  is a text string to be displayed between the filename and the bar
graph of the progress indicator. You can only use this if you allocated
this space when you created the progress bar.

For example,
        + lister set 121132636 newprogress info "From 'T' to 'Ram:'"


lister set <handle> newprogress bar <total> <count>

If the progress indicator was opened with the bar but not the file
parameter, this will set the  total  number of bytes and the current byte
 count . This is shown in the bar graph part of the requester.

If the progress indicator was opened with both the file and bar parameters,
this will set the  total  number of files and the the current file  count .
This is shown as 'xxx of yyy' in the top right of the requester.

For example,
        + lister set 121132636 newprogress bar 1024 100


lister set <handle> newprogress title <text>

 text  is a text string to be displayed in the title bar of the progress
indicator.

For example,
        + lister set 121132636 newprogress title 'Copying...'


You can use the old  lister set progress  commands on a "newprogress"
indicator, but obviously they can only change the filename and bar count.
Use  lister clear progress  to remove either the "old" or "new" progress
indicators.
