NAME
     ttsnoop - send and receive ToolTalk messages interactively

SYNOPSIS
     ttsnoop
     [-t]

DESCRIPTION
     Then ttsnoop utility allows its user to create and send cus-
     tom  constructed ToolTalk messages, and to selectively moni-
     tor any or all ToolTalk messages on your system.

     Once the ttsnoop utility is  started,  pressing  the  square
     "Start" button on the upper left of the main panel activates
     message reception. The ttsnoop utility will now display  any
     incoming  messages which match the registered patterns.  The
     initial pattern registered matches all messages.

     The main panel of ttsnoop has several buttons:

     Pressing the "Messages..." button will pops up a panel which
     allows the user to compose and send ToolTalk messages. Refer
     to the ToolTalk Reference	Manual	to  understand	what  the
     myriad  of choices mean.  Note that sending message contexts
     requires pressing the "Edit Contexts"  button  to	bring  up
     another  popup,  which will allow you to edit contexts to be
     sent with your messages.

     Pressing the "Patterns..." button will popup a  panel  which
     allows  the  user to compose and register ToolTalk patterns.
     Refer to the ToolTalk Reference Manual  to	 understand  what
     the myriad of choices mean.  By registering appropriate pat-
     terns, a programmer can use ttsnoop as a debugging	 tool  to
     observe  what messages are being sent by other applications.
     Note that using message contexts in patterns requires press-
     ing  the  "Edit  Contexts" button to bring up another popup,
     which will allow the user to edit contexts to be  registered
     with your patterns.

     Pressing the "Display..."	button	will  popup  a	panel  of
     checkboxes,  each	of  which  controls the highlighting of a
     specific ToolTalk message component on the	 ttsnoop  display
     subwindow.	  Selected   components	  will	be  indicated  on
     displayed messages by a "--->" to the left of the	displayed
     message component.

     Using the "Send Message" button allows you	 send  one  of	a
     number  of	 pre-selected  messages, created by the "Add Mes-
     sage" button on the "Messages..." popup panel.

	      invoking OpenWindows cmdtool (or console if ttsnoop
	      is invoked via a menu choice) showing what ToolTalk
	      API calls are being used to construct a  particular
	      pattern or message.
