                    XCONTROL The Extensible Control Panel


XCONTROL is a desk accessory which provides a shell for Control Panel
Extensions (CPX's). Typical uses for CPX's include:

    ∙ System Configuration (volume, key click, etc.)

    ∙ Hardware Configuration (serial port speed, disk access rate, etc.)

    ∙ TSRTermitate and Stay Resident programm
 Configuration

Most CPX's require only 512 bytes of system memory for header storage
when not being executed as they are loaded only when selected by the
user.

Applications, games, and other programs not used for configuration
purposes should not be created as CPX's.
