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.
