<refsect1 id='description'><title>DESCRIPTION</title>
<para>The <command>WinList</command> module provides a window list made up of buttons, each
corresponding to a window that AfterStep is managing.  Clicking on the
buttons with any of the three mouse buttons will either do a default
action or can be user configured by editing the <emphasis remap='I'>winlist</emphasis> file.</para>

<refsect1 id='initialization'><title>INITIALIZATION</title>
<para>During initialization, <command>WinList</command> will search a configuration file
which describes the colors, font, actions to take on mouse clicks, and
geometry settings to use. This file will be the one specified by the 
<option>-f</option> option (if given).  Else, the ~/GNUstep/Library/AfterStep/winlist 
file will be used if it exists.  Else, /usr/local/share/afterstep/winlist 
will be used.</para>

<para>If the <command>WinList</command> executable is linked to another name, ie 'ln -s
<command>WinList</command> <emphasis remap='B'>OtherWinList</emphasis>', then another module called
<emphasis remap='B'>OtherWinList</emphasis> can be started, with a completely different set of
configurations than <command>WinList</command>, simply by adding <emphasis remap='I'>*OtherWinList</emphasis>
options following the same <emphasis remap='I'>*WinList</emphasis> configuration options below to the
<emphasis remap='I'>winlist</emphasis> file. This way multiple Identify programs can be used.</para>

</refsect1>

<refsect1 id='invocation'><title>INVOCATION</title>
<para><command>WinList</command> can be invoked from the <emphasis remap='I'>autoexec</emphasis> file or from a menu
item as shown in the Synopsis section above.</para>

<para><command>WinList</command> can also be invoked from binding "Module WinList
<emphasis remap='I'>argument</emphasis>" to a keystroke or mouse button using <emphasis remap='I'>Transient</emphasis> as an
argument which will cause <command>WinList</command> to resemble the built-in window
list.</para>

<para>AfterStep will search through the directories specified in the
<emphasis remap='I'>ModulePath</emphasis> configuration in the <emphasis remap='I'>base.#bpp</emphasis> (where # is your
colordepth) to attempt to locate WinList.</para>

</refsect1>

<refsect1 id='configuration_options'><title>CONFIGURATION OPTIONS</title>
<para><command>WinList</command> reads the <emphasis remap='I'>winlist</emphasis> file when it starts up, and looks
for its configuration options.  The MyStyle structure should now be specified
in the look files.  This allows for a greater control of the running module
(different WinList look with different desktop looks, dynamic reconfiguration
etc.).</para>

added.  If the NoAnchor option is not specified then the window's gravity
corner will be anchored, and the window will grow in the opposite direction.
(i.e. If the geometry is specified -5-5, that is SoutEastGravity.  This will
cause the window to draw up and to the left as windows are added)</para>
