Introduction
Black Hole is a little utility that acts as a "super-trashcan" and adds
an appicon to the Workbench "backdrop" window. As such, Black Hole requires
version 2.04 or later of Kickstart.
You can drag file or drawer icons onto the Black Hole. You will then be
asked if you really want to delete the items. Clicking OK causes the items
to be deleted.
If you want to shut down the Black Hole, double click on the icon. It
will ask you confirm the shut down.
Tooltypes/Parameters
NAME - Name for the appicon. The default is "Black Hole".
ICON - Name of the icon to use for the appicon (without the ".info").
If not provided, an internal Black Hole icon is used.
XPOS - X position in window, or -1 for "no icon position".
YPOS - Y position in window, or -1 for "no icon position".
If you put into the WBStartup drawer, you will also want to add the
DONOTWAIT tooltype.
From the CLI the command template would be
BlackHole [NAME=<name>] [ICON=<icon>] [XPOS=<xpos>] [YPOS=<ypos>]
This format is similar to how a command template of a Commodity.
Notes
This version of BlackHole requires the "delete" command. A future version
may delete filed directly.
