And while were on the topic of new stuff in 1.3: what's with this "newcon:" device? Looks a whole lot like "ConMan". Is it? Will I be able to just call it "con:" like I do with ConMan now? I don't like the idea of having two separate console devices to keep track of. I'd rather just do what I'm doing now with ConMan: I like having the editing capability in any program that opens a console window (like "Say"). I guess I understand why they made it a separate device, but I certainly don't want it that way for myself. William LeFebvre Department of Computer Science Rice University <phil@Rice.edu>

William,
I use Conman with my 1.3 shell. I invoke it by running Conman in my
startup-sequence then in Dmouse using this as the -C command:
"Newshell Con:0/10/ect./name"
This gives me the Fkey commands of Conman, and the line editing and history
and alias of Newcon. (I do mount Newcon: before I do conman). This tip was
courtesy of Michael Rudas of the Pontiac Amiga User Group.
I wish to thank Carolyn Scheppner for permitting me to obtain a copy of
1.3 Omega 6 at Ami-Expo. (My developer's application is in the Mail :-))
