This is a new one... when working under A/UX MultiFinder mode, the Command-
Shell window just disappeared. When I looked for it under the Menu Bar
Apple, it WASN'T THERE!
I had to use LOGOUT under SPECIAL... but doing a "ps -ef" after logging back
on showed that my previous process WAS STILL GOING.
Had to "kill -9 the bugger".
This happen to anybody else? And WHY?

Often, when I've got a Mac application up and I stuff in a Macintosh floppy, the commandshell just goes *pop* and vanishes. I had just learned to avoid doing this, and then the commandshell went *pop* one day after I stuffed in a floppy, without having any other application running. I don't know what the problem is, but it is not that great an annoyance. Instead of logging out and back in again, just run the commandshell program from the Finder and your back in business. At least it works for me. Other than a few little quirks, I'm quite pleased with A/UX myself. Good stuff, Apple people.

It sounds like on your system CommandShell has suffered its [untimely, lamented] demise on this occasion, possibly due to some other [evil] application corrupting part of the shared data segment. You might try to repeat this, seeing which set of applications you were running, and whether it happens in 24-bit mode. (Or, did you accidentally type 'kill -9 <pid of CommandShell>'...or are you running MacOS? ;-) ) Remember also that you can restart CommandShell by double-clicking from the Finder.

Yep.

Nope.

Not anymore.

Yep. Got an alias for it on the desktop.
