By knowing what is in the programs list, and in what order, you can use select number Like -activate, but runs the Nth element in the list of hacks. This is like -next, but cycles in the other direction. (Though using the -demo option is probably an easier way to accomplish that.) In other words, repeatedly executing -next will cause the xscreensaver process to invoke each graphics demo One in the list, instead of a randomly-chosen one. This is like either -activate or -cycle, depending on which is more appropriate, except that the graphics hack that will be run is the next If the screensaver is active (the screen is blanked), then stop the current graphics demo and run a new one (chosen randomly.)
