  * Description *
  
  Now includes the ultimate toolsdeamon replacement for OS3.9!

  Selector is 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. Or why not a handy menu that pops up on any screen (public
  or not) when pressing both mouse buttons together.
  
  On it you can have a button for starting a program - or if it's running
  already - just jump to that programs screen. This is very comfortable,
  as you always press the same button to get to that's programs screen,
  regardless if it's open or not. Think about that! Regardless of what
  program's screen you are on, you always do exactly the same thing to go
  to (or start) a program. No need to go to the workbench. No need to keep
  in mind what programs that are running...
  
  Or you could for example make a special window only available on 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 uses of selector is almost unlimited, yet the syntax
  is very simple. Even with the simple syntax, I've made things even
  easier for you with useful tools built in to write the scripts for you.
  For example, just choose "Add button" from the menu (or press A) to
  add a new button. You can even draw graphics on your selector windows
  with these built in tools.

  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 9.3 (2004-04-03) *
  
   Added Extras for OS3.9! The ultimate toolsdeamon replacement. When
   marking an icon on the Workbench, instead of just clicking, hold
   the button down for half a second, then release and a menu will appear
   with choices of what to do with the selected file.
   
   Selector no longer works on OS2.x. -> OS3.0+ is required.
   
   New option when starting Selector: -ns (Selector -ns script.sel argument)
   -ns Means "No Settings", that no settings will be loaded. Not the
   default nor any settings specified by the Settings command.
   This speeds things up quite a lot if you have some stuff in your
   default settings. It's faster than using the "Settings Off" command
   because that actually loads the settings into memory first and then
   unloads them again.

   Bugfix: Patterns was not shown in OS3.0.
   
   Bugfix: The Settings command turned the arguments ([arg1] etc) off.
   
   Bugfix: "Popup still" did not work perfectly.
   
   "Popup still" combined with any button combination now means you have
   to hold down the button(s) in question for the time specified.
   
   New bonus tool: Delay
