@{b}             Save @{ub}- save and use the current settings.
@{b}              Use @{ub}- use the current settings.
@{b}             Test @{ub}- test the blanker under the current settings
@{b}           Cancel @{ub}- cancel all changes.
@{b} X,Y,Z (Movement) @{ub}- Initial movement along X, Y and Z axis.
                    @{i}Default: 0,0,0.@{ui}
@{b} X,Y,Z (Rotation) @{ub}- Initial rotation along X, Y and Z axis.
                    @{i}Default: 1,1,-1.@{ui}
@{b}            Stars @{ub}- number of stars.
                    @{i}Default: 75.@{ui}
@{b}           Change @{ub}- how often the star direction will randomly change.
                    @{i}Default: 1 second.@{ui}
@{b}       Anti Alias @{ub}- if set then the stars will be rendered as anti
                    aliased objects. This takes a lot longer to draw the stars
                    but does look a lot better.
                    @{i}Default: Yes.@{ui}
@{b}           Sounds @{ub}- if set then sound will be played when the blanker
                    is started.
                    @{i}Default: No.@{ui}
@{b}     Display Mode @{ub}- the screen mode to use. If the preferred screen cannot
                    be opened then the default screen mode will be tried, if
                    this fails then the minimum screen mode required for this
                    blanker will be tried, if that fails then the blanker will
                    quit and let SwazBlanker choose an alternative blank method.
	          @{b}Only screen modes that support double buffering can be used.@{ub}
                    @{i}Default: Low-Resoloution, 4 Colors.@{ui}

@NODE Problems "They arent exactly bugs, but features."
	Stars/Problems
	==============
	I have encountered problems on the folowing graphics systems:
	@{b}EGS Spectrum 28/24@{ub}
	  "egs.library" version 6.127
	  There is a small enforcer hit when the screen unblanks. I think
	  this may be tied to the fact that I am using intuition double
	  buffered screens.
	  I am still working on a soloution.
	  Also note that EGS screens do not support double buffering
	  so you will not be able to use them for this blanker.

@NODE History "Bug fixes and updates..."
	Stars/History
	=============
`1.2'	o Testing correctly reads the current settings for Movement
	  and/or Rotation.
	o Improved interface layout and locale support
`1.1'	o Only allows selection of double buffering screen modes.
	o Slider gadget inside the 'tab box' resets to default
	  values properly.

	  activated while it was allocating the screen buffers.
`1.0'	o Localized
