NAME

lwkmanager − LinkWorks Environment Manager

SYNOPSIS

lwkmanager [ flags ]

FLAGS

−d dispname
Specifies the display screen on which lwkmanager displays its window.  If the display option is not specified, lwkmanager uses the display screen specified by your DISPLAY environment variable.  The display option has the format hostname:number.  Using two colons (::) instead of one (:) indicates that DECnet is to be used for transport.  The default is :0.  For more information, see X(1X). 

−display dispname
This option is the same as the −d option. 

DESCRIPTION

The lwkmanager command invokes the LinkWorks Manager application.  LinkWorks Manager allows you to control and customize your hyperinformation environment.  You can create linkbases and objects (linknets, linknet lists, paths, path lists) within linkbases.  You can also copy objects from linkbases into your hyperinformation environment. 

When it first starts, lwkmanager creates a linkbase file named lwk_personal in your home directory, if that linkbase does not already exist. 

Whenever it is invoked, lwkmanager displays the Environment window, that reflects your hyperinformation environment.  You can double click on a linkbase name to open a Linkbase window containing the linkbase contents. 

For more information, click on the Help menu, or use the Help key.

Environment Window File Menu

The File menu contains the following items:

Open Linkbase...
Displays the Open Linkbase dialog box, which lets you select a linkbase file to open.  A new Linkbase window is created to display the contents of the linkbase.  If the linkbase file that you specify does not exist, the Create Linkbase dialog box is displayed in which you enter the name for the new linkbase.

ExitExits the application. 

Environment Window File Menu

The Edit menu contains the following items:

CutTransfers the currently selected entry (including subordinate entries) to the clipboard and deletes the entry from the window. 

CopyTransfers the currently selected entry (including subordinate entries) to the clipboard but does not delete the entry from the window. 

PasteCopies information from the clipboard into a new entry in the window.  If you have not selected an entry, or if the entry you selected is not the same type as the entry in the clipboard, the new entry is inserted at the end of the appropriate segment in the window.  If you selected an entry of the same type as the entry in the clipboard, the new entry is inserted before the current entry. 

DeleteDeletes the currently selected entry from the window. 

Environment Window File Menu

The View menu contains the following items:

Expand/Collapse
Controls the level of detail in the display of the currently selected linknet list or path list. If you choose Expand, entries in the list are displayed. If you choose Collapse, entries in the list are not displayed. The wording of this menu item depends on whether the selected linknet list or path list is currently displayed in expanded or collapsed form.

Properties...
Displays a dialog box that lets you view and modify the properties of the selected linkbase, linknet list, linknet, path list, or path. This item is disabled if you have not selected a linkbase or an object. Note that this behavior is different from the Linkbase window, in which the absence of a selection causes the properties of the linkbase to be displayed.

Environment Window File Menu

The Control menu contains the following items:

Activate/Deactivate
The Activate menu item adds the selected linknets, paths, or lists to your hyperinformation environment.  The Deactivate menu item removes the selected linknets, paths, or lists from your hyperinformation environment.

The wording of this menu item is Activate or Deactivate, depending on whether or not the selected object (or the last object, if several are selected) is active. If it is active, the item says Deactivate; if it is not active, the item says Activate. 

A more convenient way to activate and deactivate objects is to double click in the Active column of the Environment window. 

Start/Stop Recording
If you enable recording, subsequent hypernavigation events are recorded in the selected linknet or path. (Links are recorded in a linknet; navigation steps are recorded in a path.) If recording is enabled for a linknet, recording in any other linknet is automatically disabled. Likewise, you can record in a single path only.

The wording of this menu item is Start Recording if recording is disabled for the selected linknet or path, and it is Stop Recording if recording is enabled for the selected object linknet or path. 

This item performs the same functions as double clicking the check mark on (Start Recording) or off (Stop Recording) in the Record column of the Environment window. 

UpdateUpdates any selected entries in the Environment window, including any invalid entries. 

An invalid entry is one that does not appear in the linkbase listed for it.  For example, if you delete a path from a linkbase but forget to delete it from your environment, the Environment window entry for the path is invalid.  Invalid entries are displayed in a font different from other entries.  For each invalid entry, you must either update it using the Update item on the Control menu or delete it using the Delete item on the Edit menu.

The Options menu contains the following items:
