I was wodering if anyone has written a program that will put a zoom button on
a 1.3 Shell just like they use in 2.0 . I LOVE being able to expand and shrink
the Shell out of the way with one one button hit!! If anyone knows of such a
program please let me know! Thanks in advance.

There's at least one iconify program, but I can't think of the name because I don't use it. But I use ConMan for my console handler, which gives me the ability to shrink/unshrink a console window using F1. -- * From the disk of: | jms@vanth.uucp | "You know I never knew Jim Shaffer, Jr. | amix.commodore.com!vanth!jms | that it could be so 37 Brook Street | uunet!cbmvax!amix!vanth!jms | strange..."

Thanks in advance. > Dennis Anderson Such a program has been around for several years now - ConMan1.3. ConMan will shrink the window with one of the F(1-3) keys and expand them back with another F(1-3) key. This is just one small example of the versatility of ConMan. There are many other uses and applications with it, but I'm not that terribly well versed with it. I only recently installed it on my WB with AShell. BTW - ConMan is what prompted C= to put a zoom button on 2.0, I believe. 2.0 also swallowed all the ARP commands whole, as well, improving on the old BCPL's by rewriting the commands in assembly. I'm an A1000 user myself, so I can't use 2.0 ... yet!

I only recently installed it on my WB with AShell. Incidentally, I just did the same. I've been a conman lover from the beginning, and just installed the AShell. I also have Mymenu instaled, which I find extremely useful, but now here's the catch. One more program that I like, LS, (Ala Justin V. McCormick) has started to crash my system. If I open an AShell from Mymenu and execute ls as the first command (My default drive, SYS: is DH0: a 40M Conner on ICD controller) I get the good old Disk Corrupt requestor. GOMF will let me whap the requestor and shell, but none of my drives will respond, workbench doesn't update etc... If on the other hand, I start an AShell from a CLI (opened via workbench, or opened from an AShell (opened via mymenu) then LS works fine. My only remaining suspect is that I'm forcing the size of the AShell with con:. But a quick experiment (TGFM (That's MULTITASKING, not MONDAYS)) seems to feel that that's not the problem. Any suggestions welcomed. David Maxwell slaurel@contact

Here is a suggestion: get a new version of ls. The original ls by Justin has a few bugs (including the one related to a startup shell not having a non-zero CurrentDirectory field upon startup). ls-4.1ljr (on ab20 as ls-4.1ljr) does not have this problem and knows how to deal with the situation (san crash :-). > David Maxwell > slaurel@contact Loren J.
