@NODE Introduction "Introduction"

 @{b}@{u}Introduction@{ub}@{uu}

 Commander is a tool which makes running AmigaDOS commands much easier
 than the standard requester does. Its main features are: ability to
 insert file names by dropping their icons on the window or by selecting
 them with the requester, command history, ability to change command's
 options and ability to define commands which will be inserted after
 pressing different key combinations.

@NODE MainWindow "Main window"

 @{b}@{u}Main window@{ub}@{uu}

 "Command"
   Here (as you propably can guess ;)) you have to enter the command.
   File names can be inserted by dropping their icons on the window
   or by selecting them with the requester. If it's necessary program
   will automaticly insert spaces and quartermark

   When the gadget is active, you can move through the command history
   by pressing up and down keys (up - previous command, down - next
   command) and you can insert defined command by pressing the proper
   key combination

   After pressing the popup button on the right side of the command
   string the command history window will be opened.

 "Execute"

   If this option is on, all programs which have icons will be run in

   - "Execute" - the command will be executed immediatly after pressing
                 the function key (even if the command string isn't
                 active) and it won't be added to the command history

 "Command"

 Here are some features which we may add in the next program versions.
 If you think that they would be useful or maybe have your own ideas,
 let us know about it.

 1. Opening drawers - after entering a directory name, it would be opened
    like you double clicked on it

 2. Opening www sites - after entering a name beginning with http://
    or www the selected browser would be run and the page would be
    loaded into it
