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.
