So I try WShell on the 2.0 Kick, mainly because I don't want to type "rx" before all the rexx commands. And when I click the close gadget, WShell interprets it as a CTRL-\ whic is fine, but it wants FIVE clicks to the close gadget to close the window. Any way around this? I don't want to go back to CONMAN, because it doesn't open with a sizing gadget and without the "smart-refresh" window... Thanks... Kurt "Koleman" Koller - tcnet!orbit!pnet51!koleman

If you put your AREXX commands in the REXXC: directory and set the script bit on them, you don't need to type 'rx'. >Kurt "Koleman" Koller - tcnet!orbit!pnet51!koleman ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | Brian Jackson Software Engineer, Commodore-Amiga Inc.

And when I click the close gadget, WShell set the script bit, and the shell will invoke an Arexx script properly also.

Any way around this? I don't want to go back to >CONMAN, because it doesn't open with a sizing gadget and without the >"smart-refresh" window... I believe you can use the standard CON: with Wshell. I don't know if that will let CTRL-\ act immediately, though. >Kurt "Koleman" Koller - tcnet!orbit!pnet51!koleman andy -- andy finkel {uunet|rutgers|amiga}!cbmvax!andy Commodore-Amiga, Inc.

The ARexx command doesn't need to be in the REXXC: directory. If it's in a directory in the path list, and has the script bit on, you do not have to type rx. -- bruce@zuhause.mn.org

RE WShell and ConMan vs. 2.0 Um, am I to take it that these programs don't like 2.0? 'Cause the versions I have (WShell 1.2 and ConMan 1.3c) default to smart refresh and sizing gadget... dfrancis@tronsbox.xei.com ...uunet!tronsbox!dfrancis GEnie: D.HEFFERNAN1 "...when Fortran was introduced, it was claimed that Fortran would largely eliminate coding and debugging!

Yes, but do you get real macros (i.e. - I can issue commands back to
the shell that started the ARexx script) or just a language with an
easy-to-use System() call?

First, create a new entry in your mount list, let's call it MYCON:, using the ConMan con-handler (there are some examples on the WShell disk). Then, instead of running ConMan, you mount MYCON: and run SetCMan to set your favourite ConMan options. Last, open a WShell with MYCON: instead of CON: and your problems should be solved. >Kurt "Koleman" Koller - tcnet!orbit!pnet51!koleman -- Ulf Goransson, Telesoft Europe AB (ulgo@linkoping.telesoft.se) I know what a "disc" is, but what's a "laimer"?
