Mike,
Well, maybe when I get WShell 2.0 I'll have similar problems. I
use ToolsX, but even with the ECHO env variable set to OFF, the console
window still opens when I run a program from the Tools menu. I really
don't even know why I use ToolsX because I use BrowserII and ParM 3.0 which
really gives much greater flexibility than using the Tools menu.
Furthermore, both of these programs correctly launch a Workbench program.
I don't know if ToolsX correctly launches a Workbench program or is simply
running the program as though from a CLI, thus losing all .info based tool
items. My only concern about BrowserII and ParM is that they both utilize
arp.library and the req.library (the one used by Cygnus Ed). Both of these
libraries could have some incompatibilities with 2.0 (Idon't know that they
actually do, but neither of them were developed for 2.0.) I do know that I
may have some stuff that doesn't quite work right because I get occasional
GURUs or system hangs with stuff that never gave me any problem under 1.3.
I just don't know what stuff I use that's the culprit.
