- [0] Introduction
-
- MyShell allows you to open shell on a display of any size, it checks
- for your screen width and height and calculates the leftedge, topedge,
- width, and height for your shell.
-
- [1] Usage
-
- Usage: MyShell [-S/K] [-C/K] [-T/K] [-O] [-U] [-F]
- -S/K shell program default: NewShell
- -C/K console device default: CON:
- -T/K title/options default: NewShell/CLOSE from s:shell-startup
- -U display in upper half of screen
- -H display in half width of screen
- -O display in outer half of screen
- -W pull workbench to front
-
- Normally to open a newshell your command line would look somewhat like this:
-
- NewShell CON:0/100/640/100/NewShell/CLOSE from s:shell-startup
-
- -S allows you to change the program that opens the shell eg. ASHELL from
- arp under 1.3
-
- -C allows you to change the console device that is opened eg. AUX: or CNN:
- from conman 1.3
-
- -T allows you to provide a different title and options for the shell
- eg. "NewShell/C from s:shell-startup" for use with conman the /C
- specifies conman to add a close gadget to the display.
-
- -U positions the shell to open in the upper half of the screen.
-
- -H this option will open the shell in only half of the width of the screen,
- this is extremly useful in 2.0's SuperHiRes 1280x400 display
-
- -O only useful in congunction with -H, and allows you to open the shell
- in the outer half of the width of the display.
-
- NOTE: with -H and combinations of -O and -U you can open 4 shells on
- the screen, under SuperHiRes this provides 4 full size shells!!
-
- -W finally this option pulls the WorkBench screen to the front (if in back)
-
- I use this program from within machiii allowing me to define Left-Amiga-ESC
- for left bottom shell, Left-Alt-ESC for right bottom shell and Left-Shift-ESC
- for right top shell in SuperHiRes.
