  Version      : 7.1
  Release Date : 07.07.1994


  Description
  ~~~~~~~~~~~
  SuperViewPrefs is the Preferences Program for superview.library.


    Changing SVObject Preferences
    -----------------------------

    Priorities :

    SuperViewPrefs allows to change the priority of a SVObject and enables
    you to remove one from the internal List of the superview.library and
    flush it out of the memory.

    All these adjustments are temporarily, until superview.library is
    loaded next time (after rebooting or flushing unaccessed libs).

    Use this program careful when removing any SVObjects, because
    superview.library (and the SVObjects) do not really support forced
    removing of SVObjects from the internal lists yet.
    In other words : Do not try to remove anything while somebody else
    is still accessing it.

    Changing the priority will perhaps not cause any multitasking problems
    (one-byte operation, anyway).

    ControlPad :

    Via SuperViewPrefs you can easily change ControlPads (introduced with
    superviewsupport.library V2), because it automatically creates the
    appropriate Names for them (according to the "Style Guides" for
    ControlPads), depending on the SVObjects Names and then calls a
    TextEditor, where you can edit them in a full-screen-like way (at
    first I thought about integrating this totally into SuperViewPrefs,
    but that wouldn't have been flexible enough).

    Your preferred TextEditor can be specified in SuperViewPrefs'
    own ControlPad as "EDITOR=<EditorName and/or Path>".


    Changing SVDriver Preferences
    -----------------------------
    Here you may specify, which of the available ScreenDrivers should be
    used a) next time
    or   b) next time and in the future.

    Option a) uses superview.library's SVL_SetGlobalDriver() function to
    temporarily change the settings and
    option b) includes option a) as well as saving the driver's name
    to "ENV:superview-library/Default.svdriver" (and ENVARC:), so that
    this driver is set by superview.library at startup-time.
