Welcome to this little utility.  First of all, a few words of legal things:

This  program  and  all  related  files  are copyrighted by the author, Frédéric
Delacroix,  and  cannot  be  sold  for  profit.   They are released as FreeWare,
meaning  everyone  is allowed to use and copy the program free of charge as long
as all files are spread together and remain unchanged.  A small fee for copy and
mail is allowed.

The  reason  for  this  program  to be is that I recently had trouble in finding
which  of  the  programs  launched in my user-startup was sometimes crashing the
system.  I wrote a special version of the user-startup that asked before running
all programs, and thought it would be great to have a program allowing to switch
the files automatically when a key was hit.

The  best candidates for those keys were of course the qualifiers, since they do
not  interfere  with the output window.  Moreover, there is a new (V36) function
in  the input.device that would make it easy to test:  PeekQualifier().  So here
is this program, which does not even require a window to be opened to work.  The
program fits in one disk block, and is pure, meaning it can be made resident.

To use PeekQual, you must have kickstart 2.04 or higher.  It will only work from
CLI, the template is as follows:

PeekQual ONQUAL,OFFQUAL

	Each  of the arguments, ONQUAL and OFFQUAL, should be a word made of the
following  letters  (I've tried to respect this rule:  lower case for left keys,
and upper case for right ones):

	s:	left Shift
	S:	right Shift
	c:	Control
	C:	Caps lock
	a:	left Alt
	A:	right Alt
	g:	left amiGa
	G:	right amiGa
	b:	left mouse Button
	B:	right mouse Button
	m:	Middle mouse button

	The  program does the following:  it PeekQualifier()s and then tests the
result:  if all keys given in the ONQUAL argument are pressed and all keys given
in  the  OFFQUAL argument are NOT be pressed, then the program returns WARN (5),
else  it returns OK (0).  The result can then be tested with the IF WARN command
in  a  script  file.   All qualifiers given neither in ONQUAL nor in OFFQUAL are
ignored.

Example, in your startup-sequence:

PeekQual CSs
IF WARN
 Execute S:User-Startup.Debug
ELSE
 Execute S:User-Startup
ENDIF

	will  execute the normal user-startup file, unless you are pressing caps
lock  and  both  shift  keys  at  the  time PeekQual is run, in which case it is
user-startup.debug that is run.

Another example, at the end of your startup-sequence:

execute S:User-Startup
LoadWB -DEBUG
PeekQual OFFQUAL=G
IF WARN
 EndCLI
ENDIF

	This  will  end  normally  the startup-sequence (and close the window if
open),  unless  you  are  pressing the right amiga key, in which case the window
remains open for you to use as a normal Shell.

	The  source  is  provided in this archive, and is copyrighted as are the
other files, but you can use it for whatever you want, as long as you mention my
name.   By  the way, you can send me whatever you want:  Bug reports, postcards,
nice  letters,  money, PD programs, Amigas 4000, CD-Rom drives, etc...  All will
receive  an answer (especially for a 4000 :-), except swapper letters which fall
from the left of my desk down to the trashcan.

And, above all, continue to support the amiga, especially now !
