Lens    1.2    A magnifying program for the WorkBench.

Lens is a magnifying program for the workbench (and other screens).  To run
Lens from the workbench just click on its icon.  From a CLI, just type the
name of the program (i.e. "Run Lens").  There is nothing to install.

What Lens does is read the display graphics in a rectangle centered about
the mouse pointer and magnify it to the dimensions you specify.  Lens will
allow you to zoom in and out.  Here is a list of the features Lens has:

 - Displays the current magnification and mouse coordinates in the title bar.
 - Independent zooming in/out of X and Y dimensions.
 - Adjustable sampling rate (number of times to update per minute).
 - Displays axes (crosshairs) to indicate the mouse position (if desired).
 - Allows you to freeze the lens view when the lens window is inactive.
 - Has the ability to jump from one screen to another.
 - Also allows you to specify just about any screen to open on initially.
