TITLE           Create a new input mask

OCCURRENCE      In all 'User mask' menus

DESCRIPTION     Enter the name of the input mask you'd like to create.

                Choose the correct item type for your mask.

                Choose the scope of your mask. 'Local' means the mask will
                only be visible to you (it's saved in ~/.arb_prop/inputMasks).
                'Global' means the mask will be visible to all users (you
                need write permission in $ARBHOME/lib/inputMasks to create such a mask).

NOTES           To delete masks delete the corresponding file in the inputMasks subdirectory.

                New created masks will not appear in the 'User masks' menu, before you
                restart ARB.

EXAMPLES        None

WARNINGS        When a mask was reloaded (or created), macro recording will not work properly.
                You need to restart ARB before you can record/execute macros for modified masks.

                Anyway, modifying a mask easily renders any macros recorded for that mask useless.

BUGS            No bugs known
