@NODE Overview "Overview"

StormScreenManager is a public screen manager. You can open new public
screens and control many screen parameters. It has a graphical user
interface, is a commodity and knows some REXX commands.

StormScreenManager is used by StormC and EasyWriter to open a screen for their
GUI.

@NODE Installation "Installation"

You can run StormScreenManager with a double-click on the icon. After the

@NODE Commodity "Commodity Interface"

StormScreenManager is a Commodity. It can be controlled by the Commodity
Exchange Program:


"Disable"/"Enable" is not very useful, it only disables the hotkey to popup
the GUI.


"Remove" quits StormScreenManager as soon as possible: every screen that is
opened by StormScreenManager must be closed. This is done automatically. If
a screen cannot be closed StormScreenManager quits as soon as the last
window on the screen is closed.


The default popup key is control-alt-p. You can change the tooltype
"CX_POPKEY" to any valid hotkey expression.


By default StormScreenManager does not open its GUI at startup. Set the
tooltype CX_POPUP to ON if you want StormScreenManager to open its
GUI automatically.

@ENDNODE
