Thank you for using this "utility". I hope you find it useful and helps you
spread the "WORD".

In fact, as the title says, this program installs a new WPFolder class in the
WPS. This new class is called WPNEWF. It has the following proprerty:
If you press "F2" when opening a folder, the parent folder is closed.

This helps reduce the clutter on the desktop.

I had to use F2 as F1, ALT, CTRL and the SHIFT keys are already used by the
WPS.

Installation:
=========
It is very simple, just copy the wpnewf.dll file to a directory specified in
your LIBPATH (e.g. C:\OS2\DLL), then run the wpnewfi.exe program passing the
directory name as a parameter (e.g. wpnewfi c:\os2\dll).

You have to reboot in order to get the desired behaviour.

If something goes wrong, or you want to deinstall this new class, just run
wpnewfd.exe, and reboot.

Overview:
========
How does the program work: very simple, I just declare a new WPS class that is
a sub-class of WPFolder, and hence acts exactly as WPFolder. Then I Override
wpOpen, and in there test if F2 was pressed. If No, nothing happens, and the
new class just does as WPFolder was supposed to do. If F2 was pressed, the
program will test if the parent folder is the desktop, if so nothing happens,
otherwise, the parent folder is sent a message to close itself. Easy, isn't it.
