I am still converting from 1.3 life to 2.0 life on my 3000. I have some prgs I am still looking for: A replacement for DiskMaster 1.3 (is 1.4 out yet??) A shell that has "*" A Qmouse or Dmouse replacement, where all the options work. JR-Comm that works under 2.0 Another prob I have is that a NEWSHELL CON:etc/etc/etc/etc makes NO close gadgeton the new shell. NEWSHELL without the window defs works fine. What gives? And lastly if anyone has killKS PLEASE ftp it to somewhere!! Thanks. Duane Fields

NEWSHELL without the window defs works fine. What gives? NEWSHELL without specs defaults to a close gadget; however when providing paramters, you must explicitly ask for the close gadget as follows: NEWSHELL CON:<x>/<y>/<width>/<height>/<title>/CLOSE -- ========================================================================== Joe O'Hara || Disclaimer: I didn't say that!

I'm curious. Why the need for Diskmaster under 2.0? I use SID 1.06 under 1.3 but under 2.0, the only thing it has that I miss is the graphic interface for arc/unarcing programs. If you return to the world of Workbench, I think you can do anything DiskMaster did. What I would like to see it the program for putting programs in the Tools pull down menu. I use MyMenu under 1.3 and love it! Now under 2.0 I have to open all those drawers to get at a program. As for a JRComm that will work under 2.0, well I'm a registered user and I still don't have that either. I hope when 2.0 is officially released next month (?) that Jack will release the new JRComm. I think I understand he just got a 3000, so he should be working on it as soon as he tries out all of 2.0's new features. Rick Tillery

You just click on the icon of your program, and select "Leave Out" from the ICONS menu. You can turn off your machine, and when you turn it on again, it is still right there on the workbench. You just click on it, and away it goes. I do this for VLT, for example. Thus, you can replace your menu item under MyMenu with an icon. > >Rick Tillery Dale Gary
