Buttonz is a system friendly commodity so you can control it from Exchange.

It features a new feature I call subdock in its menu system so one button can
be set to call up a new bank of buttons. See the examples for how this works.

Intelligent configuration system. Buttonz is instinctive to both use and
configure. Just click on a button to launch the program, hold shift and click
on it to configure it or hold control and click on it to delete the configured
entry. Couldn't be easier.

Buttonz also has a swap button feature. Hold down the right shift key (don't
confuse this with the left shift key for configuring a button) and click on
both buttons and they will swap places.

Buttonz config window is an AppWindow, meaning you can drop a program icon onto
it and Buttonz will take care of most of the configuring for you.

Buttonz can set each button with one of four different launch types.

       CLI     - Normal setting for launching programs.

       SCRIPT  - Executes AmigaDos scripts.

       REXX    - Executes the file as an AREXX script. Arexx must be running!

       SUBDOCK - is used to load another configuration file with a new set of
                 button definitions. Add a button on the new set to go back to
                 the first set of buttons and you can have unlimited
                 definitions all linking to each other. Similar to a menu
                 system in fact.

Buttonz uses very little CPU time due to some very tough work in making it
non-resource hungry. It needs no external libraries (everything is in the
main program) and is as stable as a rock. It will run on any 2.0+ machine fine.

Buttonz has been extensively tested by a heap of testers on the internet. If
there's any serious problems or bugs in it now I'll be very surprised.

Buttonz has intelligent file handling routines for loading and saving configs
to save setting up time. Confirmation prompts for unsaved data are there to
stop mistakes being made and information lost.

Buttonz can be launched from the keyboard as well as clicking on them with
the mouse.

Buttonz author is nearly sane and also a huge Pink Floyd fan. And he does not
have long hair (strange for a programmer).

Yes, the author is the same guy "Wot works for CU-Amiga" whenever there's 
any work worth doing.

As well as setting up a programs name and filepath, stack size and arguments
can also be configured for each button. Buttonz also has a file requester for
selecting programs for those of you who hate dragging and dropping icons :-)

Buttonz features HTML docs as well as this Amigaguide document. I wanted to
be different and Phillip Snell kindly obliged by creating these. Please note
that these HTML docs still need a bit of work. The docs are also used on
Buttonz' homepage http:\\www.backyard.demon.co.uk\buttonz.html

Buttonz has its own install script which, while simple, does the job just fine.

It's bloody neat, okay? 8-)
