application which demonstrates the basic functionality of a Workplace
Shell SOM application.
The application allows a user to change and save the basic style
attributes of any object that is dropped on it.

Use this application with care, deselecting all of the items
(especially the Drag) will prevent you from using WPSTYLER again
in order to reinstate the styles.
