Alias…..
3 messages in this thread
To use the Commodore shell and "Alias" you need to make sure you've mounted
NewCon, and made Shell-Seg resident using the Commodore Resident command. You
shouldn't have any problem mix-n-matching other ARP commands, but definitely
want to use the Commodore RESIDENT, MOUNT and PROTECT programs until ARP V1.3
is released.

Cheath,
Other than having "ALIAS" problems, all of my arp commands work fine as do
my 1.3 commands. I have made Shell-Seg resident with the 1.3 version of
resident, I have mounted newcon and I currently have all other capabilities of
the shell. Unfortunetly I *KNOW* that the problem with not being able to use
the alias command is User oriented (ME). I have to be looking in the wrong
directory or something like that, but after going over this ( and over this and
over this) I can't for the life of me figure out where I'm going wrong. It
looks like I'm going to have to swallow my pride and ask a Pro to look at my
startup-sequence on the hard disk. The only thing that I haven't tried (that I
can think of) is instead of using "defdisk" to do my assigns, I'll have to
execute each assign separately. Can you believe that such a little thing as
this can bother someone so much….Oh Well….. Thanks Jamie :^(
Jamie – you don't need to use "defdisk" if you've got the ARP Assign command as
you can give multiple ASSIGN pairs to the ARP Assign and have it do everything
with one execution of ASSIGN in your startup-sequence. Just use something
like:
Assign C: DH0:C L DH0:L LIBS: DH0:LIBS … etc
Regarding the ALIAS thing again, if ALIAS doesn't work it almost definitely
means you're actually running old-cli rather than newshell. This will happen
if you haven't got NEWCON: properly mounted (by name NewCon), or if Shell-Seg
isn't resident.
