Workbench replacement: X-bEnCH 0.6 (beta)
X-bEnCh is an Amiga game launcher & more. In a 128 colors display (ECS compatible), this frontend can autoscan your hard-drive to find your WHDLoad games or your .exe files and organize them in launching listings. X-bEnCh also has an integrated CLI fully compatible with the Workbench CLI feature.
Changes:
- A New Amigaguide full doc.
- Fixed some files check on startup that were wrongs.
- Now pressing the "Del" Key when startup will cancel the X-bEnCh loading.
- Now display the release number under the X-bEnCh startup logo.

- Now return where you was before, after leaving a game.
- Now before loading a .slave/.exe, check if exist a .xbs script and use it if exist.
- Now autoscan the tool types of WhdLoad. If none found, use the default tooltypes you've set in the setup screen.

- Now in the launcher, a short push on the 2nd joy button will switch between your listings and a long push will escape to the main menu.

- Big fail fixed in the cLi.
- Added the "help" command to the cLi to list all the extra X-bEnCh cLi commands availables.
