Actually, that is something that JimM is working on to go with the library,
but I don't want to do all the talking for it (I just told him I was an
avangelist, just trying to live up to my reputation).  I wonder if JimM is
still reading this Net.  I think that Volume has put off alot of former
AmigaMen.  

Anyway, such a thing as you describe would be very easy even if JimM didn't
provide it with the library.  Just like all the other commodities objects
however I would want the window to close if I asked it nicely, so that
programs that want to CloseWorkbench() could.  Then I could press
Left-Amiga-Esc and up would come the commodities manager telling me
what programs I had out there and what their key combinations were.
