 -- Command: view ID/K, HELP/K, NODE/K, FILE/K, ATTRS/K/M, STRING/K/F
     This specifies a view object.

        * ID [I..] - an id can be assigned to a view for later
          reference. The id can be any combination of up to 5
          characters.

        * HELP [I..] - with this argument help text may be defined
          which will be displayed as balloon help whenever the pointer
          is over the associated view object.  Of course, this is
          dependant on whether the user set up balloon help in the MUI
          preference settings.

        * NODE [I..] - this argument is used to specify a node in the
          guide file given in the command line argument HELP for
          `MUIRexx'.  If the user positions the mouse pointer over the
          view object and presses the help button on the keyboard then
          the guide file will be displayed at the node location.

        * FILE [I..] - If this argument is given then the view contents
          will be retrieved from the specified file.

        * STRING [I..] - this is the view content string.  Note that
          the string may contain any of the special formatting
          sequences (see MUI Format Sequences).  Also, if this argument
          is given then it must be the last specified.

        * ATTRS [ISG] - with this option any MUIA attribute TAGs may be
          set or retrieved (see Attribute TAGs).

     Some useful TAGs for use with the gauge command are:

          TAG_Name =                        TAG_id          Flags Type
          
          Floattext_Justify =               0x8042dc03 /* V4  isg BOOL */
          Floattext_SkipChars =             0x80425c7d /* V4  is. STRPTR */
          Floattext_TabSize =               0x80427d17 /* V4  is. LONG */
          Floattext_Text =                  0x8042d16a /* V4  isg STRPTR */
          
          Note: Consult MUI:Developer/Autodocs/MUI_Floattext.doc and
                MUI:Developer/C/Include/libraries/mui.h

     Example use of this command:

          window ID LHA TITLE '"Archive List"'
              view ID LVIEW FILE '"ram:t/lha.out"'
              .
              .
              .
          endwindow
          
          view ID LVIEW ATTRS Floattext_Text
          say import(d2c(result))
