		**********************


	When the "Enter Params" button is pressed, a Gel-Format window
is popped up.  With this pop-up, one can specify a new gel-format file
or decide to use an existing gel-format file.

	To use an existing gel-format, hit the "Use exisitng gel-format file"
button at the bottom of the pop-up; the window disappears, and gel-format file
browser appears; one may then select an gel-format file.
Otherwise, use this pop-up to create a gel-format file.
Here's how it works.

	The header field at the top must begin with "#"; the rest may be
left blank or filled with any meaningful comment or identification info.

	The middle of the popup consists of several lines, each with
two boxes, and a scrollbar to the right.  On each line, the smaller
lefthand window shows a decimal index number corresponding to a lane
number.  Into each righthand box, one may type a lane ID.  The index
numbers range from 0 to 63, corresponding to lanes from left to right.
For every real lane, there must be a non-blank ID.  The program determines
the number of lanes by counting the number of consecutive non-blank IDs.
The first blank ID terminates the sequence when the IDs are saved to file.
Also, at least two of the lanes must be labeled "M" to indicate marker lane.
Subsequent analysis cannot be performed with fewer than 2 marker lanes.

	If inheritance is active, an ID entry must include an
inheritance code.  The whole line entered must be of the form
ID/IC where:	ID is the lane ID,
		/  is a separator,
		IC is the inheritance code.
Blanks should be omitted.
Recognized inheritance codes are:	C   child,
					M   mother,
					F   father,
					MF  mother's father,
					MM  mother's mother,
					FM  father's mother,
					FF  father's father.


	Toward the bottom, the path field defaults to that specified in
the app-defaults file; it may be changed to any existing path.

	Below the path field, the file field may contain almost anything,
but it must suffixed with ".blot".

	There are several buttons toward the bottom:

	"OK"		Checks the lane ID strings;
			if good, uses these to create the file.
			Note:	if the file already exists, it
				will NOT be overwritten.

	"Cancel"	Popdown the window; ignore any entries.

	"Reset"		Reset all entries in the pop-up to
			default values.

	"Use existing gel-format file"
			Popdown the window; ignore any entries;
			popup the gel-format browser.
