If you copy this program then please copy RUNME.README file

RUNME has been compacted to save disk space,this causes a slight delay
whilst de-compacting.RUNME also needs the Diskfont.library to be in
libs drawer .
 
RUNME is a helpful utility written to allow programs to be launched from
Workbench without having to open the required drawers.It will probably be
of more use to people with Hard Drives,because of the amount of data stored
on this medium.
The program itself can be started from either the cli or workbench.
From the cli or your startup-sequence type

run >NIL: <NIL: <enter full path here>/Runme

eg run >NIL: <NIL: dh0:s/Runme     This will look in the S drawer on Dh0:
Note This will only work if your Workbench screen is open.

From Workbench just click on the RUNME icon.

The program requires a list to allow it to run correctly.This list is called
Buttonlist and should be in your sys:S drawer (where your startup-sequence is)
This list can be created using any text editor.If this list is not present the
program will not run.

The format of this list is as follows

Program name (No more or less than 7 letters,if less use spaces). Followed by
the "|" symbol (shift \ next to the backspace key).Followed by 
The full path for your program.

eg if you wanted Deluxe Paint to be the 1st on the list,and the program was
located in your Art drawer then the first line of your buttonlist would look
like this

DPAINT |DH0:ART/Deluxepaint

if you want the program to run in the background (so you can mulitask) then
type

DPAINT |RUN <NIL: Dh0:ART/Deluxepaint

Here is a sample list

Opus   |Run <NIL: Dh0:opus
Cygnus |run <NIL: DH0:ced
Propage|run <NIL: Dh1:dtp/ppage/ppage
Dpaint |run <NIL: dh1:dpaint
ScreenX|run <NIL: dh1:art/utils/screenx
Icons  |run <NIL: Dh0:tools/icons
60Hz   |dh0:c/60hz
AtariEm|dh0:c/atem
ParkDh0|dh0:h.d.utils/park dh0: 
ParkDh1|dh0:h.d.utils/park dh1:

This list can be as long as required.If you have a very long list,you can use
the scroll arrows at the side to find the program name.

Using RUNME

Once your list is made,and sitting in the S drawer you are ready to go.
When you run the RUNME program you will see a long window open down the left
side of the screen,within this window is another window containing your list
of programs.Along the right hand edge is a scroll bar and arrows.In the top
right hand corner is a small box marked GO.

First decide which program to run and click on its name to highlight it,you 
will also notice that the name has been copied to the top of the window.
Now,to run the program,click on the box marked GO.

If you click your right mouse button while the RUNME window is activated you
get a small menu bar.The 3 options available at present are:-

Iconize  This makes the RUNME window into a small icon which is placed in
the top left of the Workbench screen.To enlarge the window just click once
on the icon.

Newlist  This allows you to enter the full path and name of your optional
list.RUNME will then use this list.If you quit RUNME or re-boot your
machine RUNME will revert to the Default setting of "SYS:s/buttonlist".

About    This just shows a window with the current Version of RUNME.

You may see another menu item marked CONTROLS,this is reserved for future use.
