Hey Peter,

Looks like if you save a layout, then hit RESET, the layout remains
saved. You have to wait about a minute for the Kaleido to warm-up (even
though it is showing stuff on the video output) and then it will respond
to your commands.

I only got it to work with numbered layouts (Save/Load #). Whenever I
tried a string layout, nothing seemed to work. But, this will let you
create a layout in kaleido.tcl and then recall it at a later time.

I also created a command-line script that will let you recall a layout
without launching the Tk tool.

# /usr/cluster/bin/kaleido-layout.tcl [m<mode>] [h<host>] [p<port>] [N]
video5# /usr/local/bin/kaleido-layout.tcl [m<mode>] [h<host>] [p<port>]
[N]

where N is the layout number you want to recall (if N is not an integer,
it just recalls layout 1). The local copy in video5:/usr/local/bin
doesn't use tclDP. You can store layouts numbered 1-200.

Later,
Wes
