Tool types are specific to the application.  See application for more
details.

Default tool originally needed a full path.  In 2.0 and above, the workbench
uses the path that was set when loadwb was called.  So if you place a command
without a path in the default tool, workbench will search the path for the
command.

In 1.3 you need to see "The AmigaDOS Manual" (Bantam Books).  2.0 includes
a manual called "Using the System Software".  Currently this is only
available with the A3000 (which, for now, is the only way to get 2.0.)
