- OVERVIEW:
-
- ScreenToBack and ScreenToFront let you depth-arrange screens from the CLI.
- They are intended mostly for use with screens that do not allow access to
- the screen's depth gadgets, and for use in your startup-sequence or EXECUTE
- scripts.
-
-
- USING SCREENTOFRONT AND SCREENTOBACK:
-
- To use ScreenToFront or ScreenToBack, simply issue the command in a CLI
- window, and supply the name of the screen to be re-positioned. If the name
- of the screen includes spaces, be sure to enclose it in quotation marks.
- You need only supply as much of the screen's name as necessary to
- distinguish it from other screens.
-
- For example:
-
- 1> ScreenToBack Workbench
-
- will send the Workbench screen to the back, while
-
- 1> ScreenToFront "Test Screen"
-
- will bring the first screen that starts with the words 'Test Screen'
- to the front.
-
- Upper case and lower case letters are not distinguished, so the last example
- above also could have been typed as:
-
- 1> ScreenToFront "TeST ScrEEn"
-
- If you do not supply a screen name, the currently active screen will be used
- by default. Thus you do not need to know the name of the screen to be
- affected if you want to depth arrange the current screen.
-
- By default, ScreenToFront and ScreenToBack do not change the active screen.
- You can request that the new front screen become the active screen by
- placing the word ACTIVATE on the command line before the screen name. For
- example:
-
- 1> ScreenToBack Activate "Test Screen"
-
- would send the screen with title 'Test Screen' to the back, and then activate
- a window on the front-most screen. The window that is activated is somewhat
- arbitrary: it is the window that was openned first on that screen. If you are
- using wIconify, it will usually be the wIconify backdrop window.
