[comp.sys.amiga] Problems with "shell" and "dterm"

sean@ms.uky.edu (Sean Casey) (10/25/88)

This is really for Matt Dillon, but I don't have his email address.
When using environment variables from "shell" or when I just start up
"dterm", I get a requestor for drive ENV:. I understand this is
probably a request to an installed ENV device, but I've never heard of
it except for a brief reference in the shell docs.

Is this supposed to be happening? I have dres.library in libs:, and its
the latest off ucbvax. The requestor really throws a wrench in the
works for totally automated logins with dterm. I'd like to know how to
get rid of it. If I can't, I'll have to stick with "vt100" for a term
program, but I'd much rather use a state machine like the one in dterm.

Thanks,

Sean

	ENV: = 1.3 enviroment variables.  If you don't use them yet, just
assign ENV: somewhere (like RAM:).  My latest shell automatically searches
ENV: if it can't find the variable locally, plus adds new commands to 
support the enviroment.
