NAME

       rpws - Implements multiple workspaces in ratpoison

SYNOPSIS

	rpws init n [-k] [-a]  - setup rpws with n workspaces.
				   -a sets up command aliases;
				   -k sets up key bindings and aliases.
	rpws help	       - this documentation
	rpws n		       - switch to this workspace

DESCRIPTION

	B<rpws> implements multiple workspaces in ratpoison by making calls
	to fdump, freestore.  It was adapted from rpws which comes with
	ratpoison in the contrib directory.

USAGE

       Add the following line in ~/.ratpoisonrc

	    exec /path/to/rpws init 6 -k

       This creates 6 aliases rpws1, rpws2, etc. It also binds the keys M-F1, M-F2, etc to each rpwsN alias. Moreover, rpwsn (Next) and rpwsp
       (Prev) are created, and C-M-{Right,Left} are bound to rpws{n,p}.

FILES

	rpws requires use of a lockfile.  It defaults to using
       /tmp/rpws.<UID>.lock but this can be changed by setting the
       environment variable RPWS_LOCKFILE to your desired lockfile.
