Based on what I say >for the rest of the examples maybe someone can figure out what these >first two lines do. I was right about #D for DIRECTORY. But I not sure what useful tricks you can do with it. eg. #D 01 01 GAMES@ *.*@ - Seems to allow you only to look at the GAMES directory, while clicking on any other directory cause a warm boot. eg #D 01 04 GAMES@ *.PRG@ - Seems to bomb (2) when you click on a file in that directory. >eg. #G 03 04 GEMCSH.PRG@ *.SH@ - When any .SH file is opened, execute >GEMCSH.PRG passing the specified file name on the command line. Can be done with TOS and TTP files as well. Also it is possible to install more than one file for an application. But you can't do this from the desktop options. eg. #F 03 04 LV.TOS@ *.C@ #F 03 04 LV.TOS@ *.H@ - Clicking on either a .C or .H file will execute LV.TOS with the given file. >So from the above I can only speculate to the following meanings as >I have not tried them. > >eg. #F FF 04 @ *.*@ - What constitutes a none executable, displayable >file. > >eg. #F FF 04 @ *.DOC@ - This to me means that I can "show" any file >with a .DOC extension. This one was right. Any other file simply caused a reboot as the system did not know what to do with it if it was not mark for execution or display. >eg. #D FF 01 @ *.*@ - What files should be listed when a folder is >opened. Wrong. Still don't know what this spec means. >eg. #D 01 01 GAMES@ *.PRG@ - This means to me that when I open a >folder called GAMES, I should only display .PRG files in the directory. Wrong again. ------------------------------------------------------------- Anthony C.
