What it does:
-------------
MoreTools is a simple utility able to add items to the Workbench
"Tools" menu to run programs or execute commands; you can also pass
them a parameter by selecting some icons before.

Usage:
------
MT can be started:
- from Wb, putting it in the "Wb-startup" drawer or double-clicking
on its icon or on the project icon of a menu-description file;
- from CLI, using the command "run >NIL: MoreTools". You can put
this command in your startup-sequence too (_after_ "LoadWb").
The configuration file is "s:MTData" by default; you can use
another file specifying it in tooltypes or passing it as parameter.
Configuration file:
-------------------
You can write it with whatever text-editor; for every item to add
you have to specify some data (see MoreTools.guide) like:
ITEM date and time
COMMAND date
OUTPUT CON:0/40/640/150/date and time/auto/close/wait
Changes from 1.x version:
----------------------------
- Mostly rewritten and changed internal data structure; now
it is easier to add new features
- fixed enforcer-hits when launcing programs;
- now it is possible to define the stdout for a command;
- stack size read from command's icon if it exists;
- MT can be started from the project icon of a config.-file;
- no more memory leak when closing an asl.requester without
choosing something;
- characters<ASCII 32 in config. file are changed in spaces;
- doc in Amigaguide format.
