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? -- Gibberish May the Publications Editor, AmigaNetwork is spoken fork() be Contact don@brahms.udel.edu for more information. here. with you.
