There's another weakness in AmigaDOS, specifically in WorkBench. One of the things that you can set via Info should be a bit that says "pass arguments to this as if it were being invoked from the CLI" (or for a project icon, the same bit would mean "pass >this< argument to the program as if it were being run under CLI"). Then you could construct an icon for any CLI program and WorkBench would handle the difference. Anyone reading this who has direct contact with the DOS people, pass it on… – Bela PS: hmmm… could a WB program be written such that you would first click on a project icon, then double click on this program, and it would do the work? I'm thinking you'd take the project icon and set its default tool to the CLI command, but then you'd pass that icon on as an argument to the "run as a CLI command" program. That program would look up the "default tool" and run it, passing on the argument as if CLI were invoking the program. Possible? Of course double clicking on the project icon itself would still do the Guru, but it's a step…
