Default: ran: . WINDOW= Three possibilities: WINDOW=SLEEP . Convaski starts up but opens no window. An AppIcon is nevertheless still present on the WB screen. Interesting when used with AUTO 1. and FROM since Convaski will only open a small window during the conversion. 2. WINDOW=ZIP Convaski opens its main window but in its 'zipped' state (only the title bar remains). 3. WINDOW=YES. Option by default. TEMPDRAWER= Write the path of the place in which you want the temporary file to be created when the option "Memory: Maximal' is used. Try to choose a fast mediun with enough free room.

BIP If you want a beep at the end of the conversion. PREFIX= Default: You can change the three letters before the file name of the converted file. Cug. An underscore (_) will be added after your own letters. Examplesa : If the file name is ... If PREFIX= If PREFIX=testing TextME TextME tes_TextME somethingelse _somethingel tes_somethingelse PUBSCREEN= The Convaski window always opens on the Workbench screen. If you prefer it to open on a public screen, write the public screen name with this tool type. Be careful: from WB 2.0 to WB 3.0, case is significant when choosing a public screen name (no more with 3.1). FROM= To choose the initial content of the 'From' gagdet. See AUTO to understand this function utility. AUTO Why this tool type? Let's see it. First you choose a file with FROM. Then you ask Convaski to use the Auto option by using this tool type. Your file is then ready to be converted without any further manipulation. You can even use WINDOW =SLEEP to prevent Convaski from opening its main window! APP ICON= The Convaski AppIcon is Convaski's own icon. But if you prefer another one, put its name here, WITHOUT the . info extension.
