Short: Open shell to current WB drawer Author: Chris Charabaruk Uploader: amiga chris charabaruk net Type: util/wb Version: 1.2 Requires: Workbench 3.5+ Architecture: generic WBDirShell ========== WBDirShell is an ARexx script which provides the ability to open a console window to the currently selected Workbench drawer. It supports custom startup scripts and console window paths via environment variables. A basic script which adds WBDirShell to the Workbench Tools menu is also provided. Requirements ------------ - OS 3.5+ (tested with 3.2.1, any version with ARexx-enabled Workbench should be fine) - ARexx running (RexxMast needs to be started from S:User-startup or with a higher priority than WBDirShellMenu.rexx if started from WBStartup) Installation ------------ 1. Copy WBDirShell.rexx to REXX: 2. Copy WBDirShellMenu.rexx and its icon to WBStartup, or use your menu editor of choice to create a menu item which runs WBDirShell.rexx as an ARexx script. Usage ----- Select any Workbench drawer window, and choose the Tools -> Open Shell Here menu item to open a new console window in that drawer. If no drawer window is selected, then the console window will open to the SYS: drive instead. Customization ------------- WBDirShell supports the WINDOW and FROM options of the AmigaDOS NewShell command via the values in ENV:WBDirShell/WINDOW and ENV:WBDirShell/FROM. You can use these environment variables to customize the appearance of the new console window or to run a custom script when opening a drawer with WBDirShell.
