- :p.
- This program displays several items related to system resources,
- and updates the display once per second, providing it is given
- CPU time to do so. The items displayed are:
- :p.
- :hp2.Available Memory:ehp2. - The amount of system memory
- available, according to the :hp1.DosMemAvail:ehp1. function. This
- function has known problems in the OS/2 1.x environment. Under OS/2
- 2.0 (beta 6.177), it seems to work just fine. Unfortunately, there
- seems to be no way to find out the total system memory (for comparison).
- :p.
- :hp2.Swap File Size:ehp2. - The current size of the system
- virtual memory swap file, SWAPPER.DAT.
- :p.
- :hp2.Available Swap Space:ehp2. - The amount of free disk space on the
- logical disk drive where the system swap file resides, less the mininum
- free space. This is how much more the swap file could expand, if necessary.
- :p.
- :hp2.CPU Load (%):ehp2. - The approximate percentage of the CPU's available
- horsepower that's being used at the moment. It is averaged over the previous
- second.
- :p.
- :hp2.Drive X Free:ehp2. - The amount of free space on drive X.
- :p.
- The help facility is active, as you've already seen, and those program
- commands that exist may be accessed via the window's system menu. The
- following commands are available:
- :p.:lm margin=10.
- :hpt.Save Defaults:ehpt.:hdref res=11.
- .br

- :h1 res=11.Save Defaults (Menu Option)
- :i1.Save Defaults (Menu Option)
- When you select this menu option, the program saves its current position
- and the status of the Hide Controls option. The next time the program
- is started, it will be started with that position and with the controls
- hidden (or not) according to the saved state.
- :p.
- The short-cut key for this command is F2.

- This menu option, when selected, will cause the program's frame controls
- (the system menu, the titlebar and the minimize button) to be hidden.
- This option can be toggled with a double-click on either mouse button.
- Also, since I saw it as very useful to be able to move the window while
- the controls were hidden, the window has been set up so that you can
- drag it with either mouse button.
-

- :i1.Show Memory Free (Menu Option)
- Selecting this option will toggle whether or not the amount of system memory
