- 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.
-
