How input to env. var.?
J0RGEN,
If you can wait a couple more days/weeks, AskEnv from Bengt Giger may be
available to you. I'm in close contact with the author and will upload the
new version here as soon as he's got it finished.
AskEnv allows you to use most OS2.0 gadgets and requesters from AmigaDOS
or ARexx scripts. You can even build your own Window with multiple gadgets
in them. I've already done lots of things with AskEnv including a
replacement for DAAM. Of course, just reading input from a shell can be
done with AskEnv as well (that's the way it started, actually), but having
a System (or Arq) requester get the string looks much more elegant!
Stay tuned for AskEnv to arrive here!
