- NAME
- AShell - Invoke a shell or CLI.
-
- SYNOPSIS
- AShell Window From CLI/s STACK/k
-
- DESCRIPTION
- This command invokes a new interactive shell. It can
- replace the NewShell, NewCLI and the System/CLI commands.
- AShell's default behavior is to give you the best possible
- shell and the best possible console handler. To this end,
- it will automatically load either L:Ash or L:Shell-Seg if
- these are available and not already in memory. If you have
- NEWCON: mounted, this will be your console driver,
- otherwise, CON: will be used. This allows you to use
- alternate console handlers (such as Bill Hawe's CONMAN)
- which are quite popular.
-
- If you Rename or Copy AShell to a file named NewCLI, you
- will get the default shell for that system. Currently, this
- will be the venerable yet familiar CLI interface. You can
- also Copy this file to the SYSTEM drawer under the name CLI,
- and use it as your workbench shell spawner. A better way to
- do this is to use the INFO selection from the workbench menu
- to change the default tool for the shell icon to be the full
- pathname for AShell. This will save you disk space.
-
- OPTIONS
- Window
- An alternate window, any valid window description is
- allowed here, for example: "CON:0/0/640/100/MyWindow".
-
- From An alternate startup file. If you do not supply a From
- file, the file S:Shell-startup will be used in the case
- of a shell, and S:CLI-STARTUP will be used for a CLI.
-
- CLI This will give you the default shell (i.e., the
- standard CLI). Another way to obtain this behavior is
- by renaming AShell as NewCLI.
-
- STACK
- This allows you to set the default stack for the new
- shell or CLI. Setting a higher stack can prevent many
- stack related crashes.
-
- If you wish to set these when spawning a shell from
- Workbench, you can edit the tooltypes for the Shell icon as
- described in Commodores 1.3 Enhancer manual. AShell
- recognizes these tooltypes when invoked from Workbench.
