[comp.sys.amiga.programmer] Open WB window from CLI?

don@chopin.udel.edu (Donald R Lloyd) (03/11/91)

	As far as I know this hasn't been done, and it's probably well beyond my
meager knowledge of Amiga programming to do it, but I'll ask anyway:  is there
any way for a CLI command to cause a workbench window to open for a specified
directory?  I.E., if I'm in my 'temp' directory, a few levels into it, and
I've just unlharced the latest whatever from ab20, something whose icons I'd
like to take a look at for some reason.  I'd like to be able to just type
"wb" or something similar and have the current directory's WB window pop up 
(yes, under 2.0 I can get there anyway, even if I don't have icons set up for 
  the directories... but my way'd be quicker).  I've skimmed through a couple
of old Abacus books & the 1.3 RKMs, but haven't found any obvious way of
doing this.  What about under 2.0?  Are there any new or changed functions
which might make this possible?
