  * Description *

  A powerful yet simple script language/launching tool/GUI engine.
  A good complement to AmigaDos shell and arexx scriptwriting.
  
  You can for example make a button panel that follows you from
  screen to screen when changing screens. Or a button panel (or menu)
  that pops up ANYWHERE when pressing your middle mouse button.
  (Or when pressing both mouse buttons together.)

  You can make a button for starting a program if it's not allready
  open, else just jump to that programs screen. This is very comfortable,
  as you allways press the same button to get to the programs screen,
  regardless if it's open or not.
  
  You can make a special window only available on (for example) your
  word processors screen, with buttons for starting different arexx
  scripts for that program.
  
  Selector is a powerful tool to use within shell scripts or to
  make a little GUI for your CLI type program.
    
  The possible use of selector is almost unlimited, yet the syntax
  is very simple.
    
  It is really easy to produce a button panel, info window  or a little
  requester with selector.

  Or, why not quote the world's biggest amiga magazine:
  "The program is so easy to use that you can have your first project
   up and running in under a minute." - AMIGA FORMAT march 1998

 * What's new in Selector 9.1 (040202) (executable 020310) *
  
   A new version after 5 years of bug free operation. This is just
   a minor update.
  
   I noticed that the ShowPatterns MagicWB option not always
   detected MagicWB palettes correctly. (The patterns was shown on my
   Ibrowse screen, and it looked quite ugly.) So I made the detection
   a bit more accurate.  I also added the option to use BOTH the
   MagicWB option and a screen list at the same time. For example:
   
   ShowPatterns MagicWB NOT Ibrowse 
   
   That wasn't really necessary for my particular problem now when I made
   the palette detector more accurate, but I put this in to prevent similar
   problems from occuring in the future.
   
   I also updated my hompage address: http://listen.to/boray
   
   Some small changes/bug fixes to the "Browser 2" demo script,
   the installer and the prefs editor.
