!Help file for !Wimpkit

 This application is designed to allow you to generate the icon and
window flags that are requred if you create a window without using the
template editor. This will give the advantage that you can use all 32 of
the exclusive selection groups in a window, as appose to the 15 that
!FormEd will let you use. The main reason for createing windows and
icons within the program is that it is harder to tamper with them. To
set up a window some experience is necessary and for the user with some
experience the icon legends will appear quite obvious. The fonts that
the program will let you use are those that are present when you start
the program (NB. anti-aliased font colours are supplied in the
validation string).

 The window flag has bit 31 set as standard because this tells the wimp
to ignore the Arthur bits of the flag. This means that the flags that
will be provided will only work under RISC-OS. This is resticting but
quite fair seeing that you will require RISC-OS to run the program.

 To program the wimp it will help to have a copy of the RISC-OS
Programmers Reference Manuals, they are very helpful and suprisingly
well presented for Acorn!

 If you want to contact me I am available on the phone after about 5pm
weekdays and most weekends.
