    Power users guide:
    ==================
     If you like to customize Portgui, simply edit the batch
     file. You can for example, change the APP/C line to
     execute an other calculator, of your choice.

     The commandline parameters are as follows:
       PG <no icons> [password]
       no icons - The number of icons to read from the PG_ICONS.DEF.
       password - The password to ask for, at the start of PG.COM.
     Examle:
       The command
       PG 11 FUBAR
       Starts Portgui, asks for a password and displays the 11 first
       icons of PG_ICONS.DEF, if the password is correct.

       PG.COM returns an errorlevel corresponding to the icon,
       you've selected.

    The PG_ICON.DEF - file
    ----------------------
     PortGui icons are 16x16 pixel B/W bitmaps.
     The first line represents the first icon, the second line the
     second icon and so forth. The first 4-digit hexadecimal
     number at every line represents the first line in the icon,
     the second number, the second line and so forth.
     An all black icon is defined by a line with 16 "FFFF" separated
     with a comma ",".
