Installation
************
For installation, simply copy the program @{b}MuiEnv@{ub} to a directory in
the path.
As external editor for environment variables @{b}$EDITOR@{ub} is used. So you
must set the @{b}EDITOR@{ub} variable with @{b}SetEnv EDITOR @{i}program name@{ui}@{ub} or with
MuiEnv.
Alternatively the editor can be determined with the ToolType or
shell-parameter @{b}EDITOR@{ub}.
@{b}HEXEDITOR@{ub} is used in the same way for @{b}Edit hex.@{ub}.

Starting
********
MuiEnv may be started from Workbench or CLI.
The command template for CLI usage is:
@{b}FILE,EDITOR/K,HEXEDITOR/K@{ub}
@{b}FILE@{ub} is the File to be edited at startup.
If @{b}FILE@{ub} is a directory, this directory is displayed at startup.
@{b}EDITOR/K@{ub} is the Editor for @{b}Edit ext.@{ub}.
@{b}HEXEDITOR/K@{ub} is the Editor for @{b}Edit hex.@{ub}.

Usage
*****
MuiEnv opens a window with a listview, a string gadget and several
button gadgets.
The listview shows the current environment variable, that can be
chosen by arrow keys or by mouse.
With TAB you can switch between the listview and the string gadget.
The contents of the string gadget are valid for all actions.
With RETURN or a double click inside the listview you can change to
a subdirectory if a directory is selected, if a short variable is
selected, the @{b}Edit@{ub} button is triggered, if a long variable or a
Variable containing Null-bytes is selected, the @{b}Edit ext.@{ub} button is
triggered. This is functioning, too, if the string gadget is activated.
The @{b}Edit@{ub} button opens a new window with a string gadget to change
the current environment variable and three button gadgets: @{b}Save@{ub} saves
the environment variable to @{b}ENV:@{ub} and @{b}ENVARC:@{ub}, @{b}Use@{ub} saves only to @{b}ENV:@{ub}
and @{b}Cancel@{ub} cancels.
The @{b}Edit ext.@{ub} button calls an external editor to edit the contents
of the current environment variable. The editor can be determined with
the ToolType or shell parameter @{b}EDITOR@{ub}. Default is @{b}$EDITOR@{ub}.
The @{b}Edit hex.@{ub} button calls an external hex-editor to edit the
contents of the current environment variable. The editor can be
determined with the ToolType or shell parameter @{b}HEXEDITOR@{ub}. Default is
@{b}$HEXEDITOR@{ub}.
The @{b}Save@{ub} button copies the current environment variable from @{b}ENV:@{ub} to
@{b}ENVARC:@{ub}.
The @{b}Reload@{ub} button copies the current environment variable from
@{b}ENVARC:@{ub} to @{b}ENV:@{ub}.
the @{b}Delete@{ub} button deletes the current environment variable in @{b}ENV:@{ub}
and @{b}ENVARC:@{ub}. It deletes a directory completely with contents.
The @{b}Rename@{ub} button opens a new window with a string gadget to change
the name of the current environment variable and three button gadgets:
@{b}Save@{ub} renames the environment variable in @{b}ENV:@{ub} and @{b}ENVARC:@{ub}, @{b}Use@{ub} renames
only in @{b}ENV:@{ub} and @{b}Cancel@{ub} cancels.
The @{b}MakeDir@{ub} button opens a new window with a string gadget to create
a new directory and three button gadgets: @{b}Save@{ub} creates the directory in
@{b}ENV:@{ub} and @{b}ENVARC:@{ub}, @{b}Use@{ub} creates only in @{b}ENV:@{ub} and @{b}Cancel@{ub} cancels.
The @{b}Rescan@{ub} button rereads the contents of the listview.
The @{b}Parent@{ub} button shows the contents of the parent directory in the
listview.
The @{b}Update all@{ub} button copies all Files from ENVARC: to ENV: which are
not already in ENV:. This is usefull if a newly installed program has
installed its environment variables only in ENVARC: or if varibles in
ENV: have been deleted.
The @{b}Quit@{ub} button quits MuiEnv.
New variables a created by inserting an new variable name in the
string gadget and pressing @{b}Edit@{ub} or RETURN.
MuiEnv's Window is an AppWindow. If you drop icons on it, the
corresponding File is copied into the current directory.
