Desktop Command Controller
by Glynn Clements

This application allows you to perform OS star commands from the Desktop.
When run, the program adds an icon to the icon bar. Clicking Select or
Adjust over this icon opens a window containing a list of options, defined
by the !Commands file, contained within the !DeskComm directory. Clicking
Select or Adjust over an option executes a command, specified in the
!Commands file. The program can be terminated by choosing the Quit option
from the icon bar menu.

The !Commands file consists of a sequence of lines, each containing a title
for the command, which is used in the options list, followed by a comma,
then the command itself. Note that only the first 11 letters of the title
are displayed in the window. DeskComm is supplied with a sample !Commands
file which enables you to perform actions such as opening the root directory
of this disc, and showing all the current function key definitions. To set
up DeskComm to perform the operations you require, you should modify the
!Commands file as described above, using a text editor such as Edit.

When an option is selected, the corresponding command is executed using
Wimp_StartTask. This has exactly the same effect as entering the command
using the Task Manager's 'New task' menu option.

If it is necessary to execute a sequence of commands from a single option,
the commands should be placed in an Obey file contained within !DeskComm,
and the command entered in the !Commands file should be of the form 'Obey
<DeskComm$Dir>.ObeyFile'.
