Setting up
----------
First of all, you will have to make the new Pinboard+ module:
1. Ensure that the original Pinboard 0.50 is loaded. If it isn't, you can do it
like this: Enter the cli, type 'RMKill Pinboard', type 'RMReInit Pinboard',
and return to the desktop.
2. Doubleclick on !MakePin+ in the !Pinboard directory.
To load the new Pinboard+, double click on !Pinboard.
If you want to load it as part of your bootfile, you should remove the last
line of !Pinboard.!Run ('Desktop') and run it before the desktop starts.
Pinboard+ 0.70 changes
----------------------
Pinboard+ will behave just like the original Pinboard, until you double click
on a menufile or issue a *BackMenu <filename>.
Clicking Menu on the background now produces your 'User Menu'.
The normal Pinboard menu is accessible by holding Ctrl and clicking Menu.
Shift-Menu works as before.
The User Menu enables you to have easy access to a wide range of often used
commands. The main advantage is, that you have complete control over the
appearance and contents of this menu, as well as what is to happen when you
select an item.
It is also possible to select up to 4 hotkeys for any item, making trivial tasks
like opening your favorite dir in a sensible place, or changing to your favorite
mode, very easy and fast. You can have hotkeys to bring up parts of the menu as
well.
The menu, the keys, and their actions are edited with the '!MenuDes' program,
see its !Help file for more details.
Changes in version 0.70:
------------------------
Now supports a subset of Jens Ovesens sprite conventions, which is:
Object type Sprite priority
-----------------------------------------------
Old style '!<app>' 1. '!!<app>'
2. '!<app>'
3. 'application'
New style '<app>' 1. '!<app>'
2. '<app>'
3. 'application'
Directory '<dir>' 1. '#<dir>'
2. 'directory'

It's not my fault!
Thanks to:
----------
Jens H. Ovesen for betatesting, good 'consistency discussions' and lots of
suggestions. Also thanks for the SWI-module and the Filer patch, which all just
makes life a lot easier!
The historic discussions with Brain Madsen started this off with a firm goal.
My coffee machine didn't break down during this either.
Acorn for the cpu and OS of course, what would we do without it?
(YABOP, 'yet another bunch of pc-programmers' springs to mind)
