#WShell + Opus + ToolsX
I'm not exactly sure who to address this to, so I'm going to throw it
out to the general masses and hope someone can give me a clue…
I recently received my upgrade to WShell 2.0 (less than a week
turn-around – thanks Bill!), and after installing it, I've run into 2
seperate problems. Well, only one is a problem, the other an
inconvenience.
The "problem" is that I can no longer get Directory Opus to do any kind
of archive operation, mainly because I can't get it to open a shell window
to do it in. I've played with the DirOpus configuration options for the
past two days now, to no avail. It _will_ open a WShell on the Workbench
when I click on the RUN gadget, but any gadgets that cause a DirOpus script
to run (like archiving operations) no longer work. In fact, they hang
until I press SHIFT+ESC, but no shell window ever opens, not on the Opus
screen nor on Workbench. I don't know if I have the Opus configuration
wrong, or if I need to change something in my WShell configuration. Any
help would be greatly appreciated.
The "inconvenience" concerns the recently released ToolsX program
(SteveX's pgm to launch pgms from the WB2.0 Tools menu). After installing
WShell, every time something is launched from the Tools menu, a shell
window appears on my WB screen and stays there until I close it. As I
said, it's not really a problem, just an inconvenience. Any know how to
get rid of it?
I've been a WShell user for years now, and can't live without it. The
new version is really nice and I recommend it highly. If I have to live
with these problems, I will, but I'd really appreciate any advice any of
you may have that would help me rectify them. Thanks!
