 Use them when the window is active by pressing the CTRL key and the
 letter, together.

 Control J - Will cause the active GUI to jump to the next available
             Public Screen, if any. An event -  xONJUMP  ScreenName -
             will be called every time this happens (if defined) puting
             the name of the new screen in the above variable so that
             you can SetScreen any other accompanying GUIs to this new
             screen also.

 Control W - This shortcut will bring up a requester, asking you whether
             to save the current window size as the default SMALL or 
             NORMAL (Big) window size. Thereafter, every time the GUI 
             is loaded, it will be automatically resized to these sizes.
