Show                  NAME/F, WAIT/S


The Show command allows you to display IFF ILBM pictures, brushes and
animations.  It will also display other picture formats via the datatypes
system of OS3.0 and higher.

Opus 5 will show most pictures and brushes, including overscan, extra
halfbrite (EHB), HAM (4096 colour) pictures, and AGA 8 bit pictures.

Under OS3.0 and higher, if a file is a different format picture for which a
datatype is installed, the picture will be displayed by that datatype.

The following keys can be used when viewing a picture or animation.

  Mouse Pointer Scroll
  ESC or Right Mouse Button Abort
  Q or Left Mouse Button Next (and leave entry selected)
  Delete Next (and mark entry for deletion)
  Space, Help or P Help and Print Requester


These keys can be used when viewing an Animation.

  S         Starts and Stops
  N         Next Frame
  -         Slow Down
  =         Speed Up
            Original Speed
  F1 - F10  Various Speeds (F1=Fastest)


If any pictures are marked for deletion when the last picture has been
shown, the delete function is automatically launched on them (you are given
the usual warning first).

Giving the "WAIT" switch will ensure that any later commands will not
execute until all of the files have been viewed.
