The ReqTools preference editor requires Kickstart 2.0 or higher to run.  Both
the Kickstart 1.3 and Kickstart 2.0 version of reqtools.library will respond
to the preference settings.  A CLI only version of the preference editor for
Kickstart 1.3 users _may_ be released later on (no promises :-).


1. Options:
-----------

The ReqTools preference editor recognizes following command line options when
started from the CLI:

FROM <ReqTools preference file>  : Edit specified preference file.
SCREENFONT=<YES|NO>              : Use screen font for editor or use the
                                   standard Topaz 8 font (default YES).
PUBSCREEN <public screen name>   : Open on specified public screen.

Following tool types are recognized when started from Workbench:

CREATEICONS=<YES|NO>             : Create icons for preference files
                                   (default YES).  Note that if the editor
                                   is started from the Shell the menu item
                                   will not be checked so no icons will be
                                   created.
SCREENFONT=<YES|NO>              : Use screen font for editor or use the
                                   standard Topaz 8 font (default YES).
PUBSCREEN=<public screen name>   : Open on specified public screen.


2. The editor
-------------

This documentation is still very basic, it very shortly describes the
checkboxes and default requester settings available.

The checkboxes:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
General:

 o Pop Screen To Front    : Allows you to switch off the default behaviour
                            of all ReqTools requesters popping the screen
                            they appear on to the front.

File Requester:

 o Immediate Sort         : If checked makes the file requester sort the
                            directory contents automatically.

 o Display Drawers First  : Display drawers before the files in the file
                            requester.

 o Mix Files And Drawers  : Mix files and drawers in the file requester.
                            If none of the 'Display Drawers First' or
                            'Mix Files And Drawers' is checked files
                            will be displayed before drawers.

The default settings:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For each requester you can set the following defaults:

 o Size (% Of Visible Height) : Default height of the requester (relative
                                to the visible height of the screen it
                                will appear on).

 o Number Of Visible Entries  : Minimum and maximum number of entries that
                                are initially displayed.  With this you
                                can assure you won't see less or more entries
                                than the minimum or maxmimum you set when
                                the requester first appears.  You can for
                                example set the font requester to use 75% of
                                the visible screen height.  If you set the
                                maximum number of visible entries to 10 the
                                font requester will not display more than
                                10 entries no matter how high the screen is
                                it appears on.

 o Position                   : Default position of requester.

 o Offset                     : Offset (in pixels) from the default position.

Note that you are setting defaults, not all requesters will appear as you
have selected.  If a program explicitely sets a requester's position ReqTools
will make the requester appear as asked.  The defaults will be used when the
calling program doesn't set specific settings itself.
