NAME

       bbrun - An elegant tool for the Blackbox window manager that runs commands

SYNTAX

       bbrun [OPTIONS] [-- [-display <display>]]...

DESCRIPTION

       bbrun  is  a small but very useful application. It makes it convenient to quickly execute commands from the blackbox or fluxbox window man-
       agers. bbrun is very similar to KDE's Alt+F2 Run Command dialog box. When launched, it occupies a small portion of the  desktop	and  docks
       itself to the right side of the screen.	The run dialog is opened by clicking on the tiny bbrun window.

       You  don't necessarily need blackbox for this program to work. It looks just as good in fluxbox, but it won't look the same in other window
       managers.

FILES

       ~/.bbrun_history

OPTIONS

       -a, --advanced - advanced mode, shows more options than the normal command entry box.  The default is  for  it  to  be  in  normal  (tradi-
       tional/simple) mode.

       -h, --help - this help screen

       -i, --history-file=<history file> - set the history file to use. (default:
	~/.bbrun_history)

       -v, --version - print the version number

       -w, --withdraw - withdrawn mode, will go straight to command entry box

       Options that must occur after '--' if they are used:

       -display <display> - set the display that the gearbox should show up on

GENERAL USAGE INFO

       bbrun can be run in normal mode where it creates an icon that sits in the slit.	You can then click on the gear icon to make the text entry
       window popup.  You can also run bbrun in withdrawn mode by specifying the -w flag. This is ideal for use  with  the  key  shortcut  program
       bbkeys  since  it will jump straight to the text entry screen.  bbrun also supports the 'escape' and 'enter' keys for those of you who like
       to use the mouse as little as possbile.

       bbrun keeps a history of your most recent commands. The history list is stored in the '.bbrun_history' file in your home directory. If  the
       file does not exist it is created automatically.

       Also keep in mind that you need quotes when you specify arguments with spaces in them.  eg. mpg123 '/mp3/Creed - Higher.mp3'

NAME

       tk_dialog - Create modal dialog and wait for response

SYNOPSIS

       tk_dialog window title text bitmap default string string ...
_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

       This procedure is part of the Tk script library.  Its arguments describe a dialog box:

       window Name of top-level window to use for dialog.  Any existing window by this name is destroyed.

       title  Text to appear in the window manager's title bar for the dialog.

       text   Message to appear in the top portion of the dialog box.

       bitmap If  non-empty,  specifies a bitmap to display in the top portion of the dialog, to the left of the text.	If this is an empty string
	      then no bitmap is displayed in the dialog.

       default
	      If this is an integer greater than or equal to zero, then it gives the index of the button that is to be the default button for  the
	      dialog (0 for the leftmost button, and so on).  If less than zero or an empty string then there will not be any default button.

       string There  will  be  one  button  for each of these arguments.  Each string specifies text to display in a button, in order from left to
	      right.

       After creating a dialog box, tk_dialog waits for the user to select one of the buttons either by clicking on the button with the  mouse	or
       by  typing  return  to invoke the default button (if any).  Then it returns the index of the selected button:  0 for the leftmost button, 1
       for the button next to it, and so on.  If the dialog's window is destroyed before the user selects one of the buttons, then -1 is returned.

       While waiting for the user to respond, tk_dialog sets a local grab.  This prevents the user from interacting with the  application  in  any
       way except to invoke the dialog box.

EXAMPLE

	      set reply [tk_dialog .foo "The Title" "Do you want to say yes?" 
		      questhead 0 Yes No "I'm not sure"]
