I eventually got around to installing ToolManager on my system. ToolManager
is an excellent program-launching environment by Stefan Becker.

The tools included are:

	GAsk		a graphical 'ask' for use from scripts
	InsertKey	inserts a keystroke into the input stream
	IconKill	deletes an icon using DeleteDiskObj
	Kill.script	shell-script to delete files

GAsk was written primarily for a Delete icon, to confirm deletion. It may
be useful elsewhere. Usage is GAsk <prompt>; quotes are not required around
the prompt. e.g. 'GAsk Really delete file?'

InsertKey was written so that clicking a dock icon would open another dock.
I'm sure Stefan will in a future version include a 'docks opening docks'
option, but for now, InsertKey fills a gap. Usage is InsertKey <key> where
key is a standard (commodities-style) key description. For example, I have
the hotkey 'lcommand 1' set to bring up a specialised dock. In my main dock
I have an Exec object with (CLI) command 'InsertKey lcommand 1', so that I
can bring up the other dock without recourse to the keyboard.

IconKill is a small program to delete icons. It IS NOT written by me, but
is Copyright © 1991 by Jarto Tarpio, and was taken from the AppServer
package. I've included it as it's used in my Kill.script. See IconKill.doc
for more details. 

Finally, Kill.script is a small Shell script attached to a dock-icon so
that any files/directories dropped over it are deleted. It can only take
one file/directory at a time, because a file containing a space would be
interpreted as two files, and in the worst-case scenario, these files could
actually exist and be wiped unintentionally.

These programs (except IconKill) are placed in the public domain; they have
no warranties attached whatsoever (especially Kill.script). Use them at
your own risk.

To compile the C programs you need Lattice 5.10 (or above?). Just 'execute'
them to get them compiled.
