View Ref-FileSupported protocols

TosWin2 checks some cookies and supports various protocols and AES messages.

Cookies

   ∙ xFSL         Font selector like Calvino, FontSel or HuGo.

Messages received

   ∙ AP_TERM      TosWin2 reports to the AES that it understands this
                  message and when it is received it behaves exactly like
                  when selecting the Quit menu item.

   ∙ VA_START     For now only "-l" can be used as an argument. It causes
                  TosWin2 to open a new shell window. Any program can use
                  this message to ask TosWin2 to start a new shell.
                  TosWin2 replies with AV_STARTED so that the caller can
                  release the memory again.

   ∙ AP_DRAGDROP  TosWin2 supports the Drag&Drop protocol: programs and
                  directories can be dragged onto the desktop, and texts
                  from other programs can be copied inside windows. If a
                  directory is dragged into a shell window, TosWin2 sends
                  its path to the shell preceded by a "cd" command, so
                  that it moves to this directory. The file or path names
                  are converted to UNIX standards (/c/auto/...) and the
                  window is topped.

   ∙ FONT_CHANGED Font server reply.

Messages sent

   ∙ AV-Protocol  TosWin2 sends a message to the AV-Server when a window
                  is modified.

   ∙ Drag&Drop    Text blocks selected in TosWin can be dragged into other
                  windows as ".TXT".

   ∙ FONT_SELECT  This is sent to the font server.

   ∙ SC_CHANGED   Notifies other applications when TosWin2 modifies the
                  clipboard.

   ∙ VA_START     Sends a message to ST-Guide or to the StringServer to
                  display the online help.
