Amigaguide preferences - Lee Kindness.
              ======================================
              
Introduction
============
	Amigaguide has various preference options. However no preference editor
is supplied to alter them, now you can. This program requires OS36+ (WB2)
if you do not have this then lookup the AmigaGuide documentation to find 
out how you can change these preferences. AmigaGuide prefs is very similar
to the C= preference editors, it is therefore easy to use. For more 
information on any of the preference options look at the AmigaGuide 
documentation in the "Preference" section.
 
Installation
============
	The included install script will copy the program to SYS:Prefs. The C= 
installer is required in your path.

THE WINDOW
----------

	A window appears with three sets of gadgets. These gadgets are used to
change various preference settings of AmigaGuide. The gadgets:

"Path"
	This listview shows the list of directories that AmigaGuide will search
through in attempts to find files. A new path may be added using the "New"
button. You can edit this path by either changing the text in the string
gadget below the list or selecting the "Directory" gadget, this will cause a
requester to appear so that you can pick a directory from it. A path can be
removed using the "Remove" button.

"Text"
	This cycle gadget lets you pick what style the node points in an 
Amigaguide document appear as. You can choose from "Button", "Underline",
"Bold" or "Italic".

"Pens"
	This listview lets you select what colour certain features in an 
AmigaGuide document appear in. Select an item in the list view and then 
choose the colour you wish in the palette gadget below. The items in the 
list are self documenting.

"Save"
	This button saves the current preferences and exits.
	
"Use" 
	This button exits with the current preferences in effect.

"Cancel"
	This button exits with no change to the preferences.
	
The menu items do the following:

"Open..."
	Lets you pick a directory from which preferences will be loaded in from
	
"Save As..."
	Lets you pick a directory to which the preferences will be saved.
	 
"Quit"
	As "Cancel".

"Reset To Defaults"
	Changes the preferences to their default values.

"Last Saved"
	Restores the last saved preferences.
	
"Restore"
	Restores the preferences in use before the program was launched.

				+ Initial Version
				
	V36.31	: 14.08.94
				- did not have enough stack, therefore program was vegging in 
				  some procedures (normally "Directory" function).

	V26.44	: 22.09.94
				- Palette gadget now shows the maximum number of colours 
				  available on the current screen or 207 if 256 or more are
				  available.
				  
	V36.66	: 23.09.94
				- "Open" and "Save As..." menu items added.
