Is there a way to run SKSH on a new CLI window other than the
calling one? You can't just do a run SKSH >con:blah blah.
Also, what's the correct alias sequence for closing up a window from
SKSH. If I tried alias qx exit;endcli it'll work but when
SKSH is first ran, it ends the CLI process and then goes into the
SKSH enviroment...kinda wierd.

Define an alias which looks like this: alias newsksh='$(which newshell) CON:10/60/550/200/SKsh_Window' (You might have to adjust the size if it won't fit in your screen). Now when you type 'newsksh' from SKsh, you will get a new window running SKsh. > Also, what's the correct alias sequence for closing up a window from > SKSH.

Try defining a LOGOUT variable like this: LOGOUT='endcli' Now, when you exit SKsh, the calling window will go away (unless, of course, there are other processess which are still talking to it). You can then exit without destroying the window by using the 'quit' alias which is defined in the .skshinit file. - steve

You have to put something like this in your s:Shell-Startup file: stack 10000 sksh That will tll the AmigaDos shell to start SKsh when it loads. - steve

When I was using SKsh, I had a shell-startup (for AShell) (!) which ran SKsh, and the next command was "endcli". Worked fine. Steve, might I suggest you add an option to SKsh to open a specified device for I/O? [i.e. con:..., aux:, etc.] Deven -- Deven T.
