Again I've stumbled over a question I've already had with 1.3, but since I used ARP just from the beginning it didn't matter. With 2.0 the "problem" is again there: what is the NewShell? I can't find a command in the C: directory, it's not an alias...what is it? When you issue just a plain newshell command under 2.0, a shell window with a closing gadget opens. But when you use newshell con:..., there is no closing gadget. Why? -- ------------------------------------ Chris Brand - wizard@sosaria.imp.com "Justice is the possession and doing of what one is entitled to" - Platon ------------------------------------

For compatibility with old users of the console, it defaults to "no close gadget". The 2.0 Shell can handle one, so it asks for one.
