Program idea?

[schultp@wl.com (Paul Schultz)]

Here's an idea I've been mulling over lately and since I'm
not an advanced programmer I could not do this myself nor do
I even know if it is feasible.

Here it goes:

I have an accelerator on my GS and for certain games it would
be nice if the computer would "automatically" slow down to the 
desired speed and when the game is finished the computer could
"resume" normal speed.  So, I was thinking along the lines of a
file which you could double click on and it would do the following:

1. Slow down your accelerator to a set speed.
2. Launch your program.
   (perhaps the icon which you double click on could be a "parameter"
    file for some sort of mini-launcher application)
3. After exiting your "game program" return the system speed to the
   speed it was at prior to launching your program.

The parameter file could contain:
- the speed to run the application at.
- the pathname of the application to launch
- the icon to use to represent the file
  (so it would still look like your "game's" icon)
- probably alot more!

In fact, if I haven't completely missed the boat here ( I'm sure I
will be told if I have! :) ) this could perhaps be the making of a
crude alias file for the IIgs. ...well maybe I'm pushing it here.

Anyway, what do you think?
