Does anyone how a program can detect if it was started as a GEM-Application or as a TOS-Program I want to check if a program accidently was started by an TOS-Shell. Thanks Stefan

shell...]
I didn't try it, but I think this will make applinit return a failure.
On which occasions can it fail anyway (except this one)?
Hope this helps,

Every non AUTO folder program can call appl_init() succesfully, The only way to find out if the program was lauched from a TOS-only shell (I guess you mean command line shell), is to check the parent basepage you can find the through the system variable that points to the OS-header (can't remeber the name, and don't know the location by heart) Tried to send this to stefan but it keeps bouncing Harold van Aalderen (hvaalde@cs.vu.nl) Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam
