NOTES:
------
This was modified from wmbutton by Ryan Lathouwers <ryanlath@pacbell.net> 
and Jack O'Neill.  

You can specify the default number of buttons by editing asbutton.h 

See .asbuttonrc for details on configuration options.

To have multiple asbuttons in wharf, you can use the same technique as 
having multiple wharfs.  Create a sym link to asbutton then use that as
the app in the wharf config file.  i.e.  Create a sym link called asbutton9 to asbutton.
Make a new config file in your home dir called .asbutton9rc.  Then add
the following two lines to the wharf config file:

	*Wharf asbutton - Swallow "asbutton" asbutton  &
	*Wharf asbutton4 - Swallow "asbutton4" asbutton9 -n 9 -f .asbutton9rc &

Restart wharf and you have one with 4 buttons and one with 9.
