Pager:

General
The pager is managing your virtual desktops and helps keeping it clean. Itīs very useful and you donīt want to miss it anymore. You have to keep an eye on this file, itīs a little bit confusing, because you have to set the desktop size in the base.XXbpp file! The settings should conform to the settings in this file. If you only reduce the number of desktops in this file you will wonder why there are still to much desktops! (Thanks Andrew).
If you want the pager itself a but smaller to fit better in the wharf, change the setting in your base.XXbpp file.
In this old version the pager is not able to handle other formats than xpm, so if you want to use something like that you have to use an external program executed in the autoexec file, or update AS ;-).
