First of all i want to thanks any third party library writter for
BlitzII and especially Leading Edge Software.
Commodity
You can control Assist using the commodity Exchange. When you select
Hide interface, Assist will be iconified and if you select Show
interface, Assist will come back. When Assist is inactive then only
the current Assist version will be displayed in the Assist window
if iconified. Select Remove to exit Assist.
The default hotkey is 'ralt rshift a' but you can change it by editing
the CX_POPKEY tooltype.
AppWindow
When Assist is not iconified, you can drag'n'drop a file in the Assist
main window. If the file is a file and not a directory, Assist will
automatically read it!
NOTE:If you drop more than one files, Assist will use only the first one.
AppIcon
Assist will add an AppIcon if the tooltype 'APPICON' exists.
Assist will use the AUX_PRG:Assist.info icon for that. If you
have defined a tooltype 'ICONIFY' (e.g ICONIFY=Dh0:Icons/MyIcon) Assist
will use that(if it exists). If Assist will not be able to find the
icon file it will not add an AppIcon.
If you double-click the Assist icon and Assist is iconified, Assist will
uniconify. You can drag'n'drop a file on the Assist AppIcon and Assist
will read it(if it is not a directory).
AppMenus
Assist will try to add three more menu options in the Tools menus of
WorkBench.
Read doc : If you have selected a file and then you select this menu
option, Assist will read it(if it is not a file).

Exit Assist : Quit
