The 1.3 manual omitted this $ litte detail. It's like a CLI description, i.e., con:x/y/w/h/name I usually set WINDOW=NIL: to use IconX transparently (i.e., the user sees no CLI stuff). $2) How can I do an assign to the the current directory? $ I'm trying to get some demos running on my hard drive that make $ references to volume names, and in the interest of portability, I'd $ rather do an "assign demo1: ." (where "." is the current directory $ like Unix does it), than have to do "assign demo1: ff1:demos/neato". $ Editing the Iconx script if the demo is moved somewhere else on the $ hard drive is a minor inconvience to me, but it's beyond some users, $ and I'm trying to make it as painless as possible. $ I don't think AmigaDOS has any easy way of referring to the current $ directory, but perhaps someone has written a program to deal with $ this? I understand. Use "" as the current directly. $-- $Blaine Gardner @ Evans & Sutherland 580 Arapeen Drive, SLC, Utah 84108 $Here: utah-cs!esunix!blgardne {ucbvax,allegra,decvax}!decwrl!esunix!blgardne $There: uunet!iconsys!caeco!pedro!worsel!blaine (under construction) Paul.
