Hello Bill, sorry to bug you again. But there's one last problem I'd like to get rid of. I did look over and over but could find the source of my problem. Here it is: on my A3000 using KS/WB 3.0 (finally) I call TCO and the window opens fine having the scrollbar (from WShell) to the right. The same setting on my A1200 does NOT open the STDERR window at all. I have to use CNC: for DHOpts to open STDERR on the WB – but as you know, w/o scrollbar. As I'm doing a lot with ARexx, I really need this scrollbar. What could I have done wrong?

Mike, The console window opened by TCO uses a CON: window, since it can't assume that WShell will be present on the machine and therefore there may not be a CNC: or other console. (TCO is an ARexx utility.) You can use WShell's DisplayHandler to redefine CON:, but you'll need to dismount CON: first. Then use a DHOpts command to define the CON: device and you'll get the default scrollbar. -Bill Hawes
