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.
