Steven,
Well, maybe it wasn't the ECHO that fixed it. At the time, I also
stopped using WShell with the CON: device. I use the CNC: device for all
my shells, so I really didn't need to use it with CON: anyway. Frankly, I
don't entirely understand the differences between the two devices, mostly
because I haven't had time to study the manual yet. I never used the CNC:
device until I started having trouble with the old version of WShell under
earlier versions of WB2.0. I remember Bill suggesting the switch back
then, and now the WShell 2.0 manual seems to use CNC: as its primary
device, so I've stuck with it. The manual also showed how to use it with
CON: by first dismounting it, then using the DHOpts command to assign it to
a WShell. Apparently that's what caused the problems with Opus, and maybe
with ToolsX too.
Anyhow, now I only have six WShell-related lines in my user-startup
file, which are:
DHOpts PIP: CNC:0/11/640/200/WShell/CLOSE MENU S:CNC-Menus
resident Shell l:wshellseg system pure
resident WShell l:wshellseg system pure
FComp
Newwsh
popcli 99999 newwsh
Actually, the main reason for these little problems I've been having is
probably because WShell 2.0 seems so different from previous releases, and
it's just going to take some time to become familiar with all of its many
features and how they work. In time, I'll get the hang of it.
