-
- ShellBench is a replacement for the Workbench Execute requester. It
- opens a small window on the default public screen, with a string
- gadget for typing in the desired command. The string gadget supports
- filename completion with the TAB key and keeps a command history
- buffer. The excellent BGUI library by Jan van den Baard provides
- font-sensitive gadget layout in a resizeable window.
-
- Via tooltypes and an options window, ShellBench offers fine control
- over the execution environment of launched programs, including task
- priority, stack size and current directory. In addition to using
- ShellBench on-demand for executing individual Shell commands, you can
- also quickly set up project icons that run Shell programs in highly
- configurable environments.
-
- Requirements:
-
- o AmigaOS 2.04 / Kickstart V37 or higher.
- o bgui.library V38 or higher (included).
-
- Summary of features:
-
- o Icons shift-selected when started from Workbench have their fully
- qualified pathnames appended to the command string.
-
- o AppWindow support: drop icons in the window and the fully
- qualified pathnames will be appended to the command.
-

- insertion via function keys.

- directory, etc, configurable via tooltypes and on-line via options
- window.

- environments.
