Easy New Notebook

This provides a hook to the New:Notebook menu procedure. The hook puts up a control panel with more settings than the standard New:Notebook dialog box.

Features

Panel to input settings for a new notebook.

Title - a title for the notebook (blank titles default to "ENNotebook", changing the title and typing return automatically creates notebook)

Name - generate the name from the title or from a time-stamp

Format - create a formatted (default) or unformatted notebook?

Ruler - show or hide the ruler in formatted notebooks?

Kill - how should the notebook be closed when you click on the close window button?

Sizes - set the top, left, width, and depth coordinates for the notebook as pixels (optional - the values are input as % of screen size when ScreenSizer is installed)

Font Parameters - popup menus to select the font size and typeface

X - remove the package

? - show the help file

(Desktop - optional) - a popup menu with "-", "D", or "1-4" appears when ACL_WindowDesktops is installed to place the notebook in a certain desktop and move to that desktop (selecting "-" cancels invoking WindowDesktops for the new notebook)

When you do not handle the panel immediately, it will beep at you and, on the second time, disappear quietly.
