Hey!

Thanks for the info. This looks useful.
Is there an Amiga DOS reference? You have no idea how long it took me to find "endcli" (WHAT were they thinking? how about "quit" or "exit"!  :-o ) I suppose I would need an ARexx manual then as well..

I believe that they were thinking of providing an easy to remember complementary command to NewCLI - which opens a new CLI. ;-)

You could try EndShell - which does the same as EndCLI, and is the complement to NewShell, which is essentially the same as NewCLI. If all this is too much, and you don't want to edit the S:Shell-Startup, adding something like

Alias shutit endcli

then you could always try clicking on the Close gadget that should be somewhere on the window's borders (usually top-left corner) - at least after the initial boot CLI has finished and you are in the Workbench.

Open a Shell/CLI window, and type

Resident

into it, and press return. You will then be given a list of the Internal (ROM) commands that are available (along with any others that have been made resident by using the Resident command in the startup-sequence or user-startup). Pick one and type in its name followed by a space and a ? and press return again, and it will show you its usage template (if it has one).
