... I had to use the Shell for doing most stuff.

You say that as tho it's torture to use a command line!!!  :roflmao:
That Amiga shell is awesome.  Might not be BASH, but at least it's not ksh.  ;-)

Seriously, I got a program included with my external floppy (CLIMate or Diskmaster???) that fit the bill for me.  1.3 with that was great..

Although, I still spent a lot of time in the shell.. Because I like it.. :lol:

... but I think you didn't get my point here, because what I meant was that for example if I wanted to run a program that didn't have an icon, I couldn't do this from Workbench, I had to open a Shell and run it from there instead.

No, I got your point.  I was kind of joking.
But seriously, it didn't take me too long to figure out, all I needed to do was keep a spare "program.info" file that I could copy and rename (using the shell or the GUI file manager program I had).

I admit, it felt like there were a few things missing for the 1.x WBs.

But with a GUI file manager, it wasn't a problem.

It was nicer tho when those were built in in the 2.x/3.x versions.
