$Two questions about 1.3's Iconx program:
$1) What's the format for the WINDOW= tool type? 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.
