WINX  lets  you  run  several window programs as one icon or shortcut.   It  will
either  wait  for  a program to finish or not (your choice!).   It  will  execute
programs  starting with the command line arguments.  "@file.ext"  tells  WINX  to
continue  commands from file.ext.  These can be nested, as long  as  any  of  the
files  called do not result in the original file getting called again.  You  also
have the choice of starting a specified program maximized, minimized, or hidden.


Examples:

1. Example using only the command line:

        winx wstimer,on,a notepad endtimer,on,a

2. Example using a file:

        winx @notepad.wx                (extention does not matter)

   notepad.wx might contain:
        wstimer on a
        notepad/w
        endtimer on a
            
The  above 2 examples are identical.  Note  that  from the command line,  commas
delimit program  arguments because  spaces  identify the end of each program and
its  arguments.  Note that the file may contain spaces (commas are also  allowed
there).


Note  also  the /w right after notepad (with  no  space  before /w). This  tells
WINX to wait for notepad to complete before continuing.

Options that can be given right after the program name are:

Option          Description
------------    ------------------------------------------------
/w              wait for program to terminate before continuing.
/hide           start program hidden.
/min            start program minimized.
/max            start program maximized.

ex: notepad/w/max       starts notepad maximized and waits for it
                        to terminate.
