closing programs
« on: October 12, 2005, 04:41:36 AM »
 Some programs have the "close" button in the upper right. Some do not. How do you close the programs that don't? (like "Say" and AmigaShell.

I've Google'd this and read docs but must not have searched for the correct thing.

TIA.

Those two programs are somewhat unusual.  Type "endcli" to close the shell, and to exit from say just press return with an empty line in the input window.

Most major applications have a "quit" item in the project menu.

ctrl+C is the escape sequence for shell commands. I wonder if RA+d would work too..?

type in shell this command:   Status

and you'll get output like this,

   Process  1: Loaded as command: TURBOTEXT
   Process  2: Loaded as command: Work:Tools/Blowup
   Process  3: Loaded as command: Work:Tools/Sashimi
   Process  4: Loaded as command: Work:CyberTools/CyberGuard
   Process  5: Loaded as command: Work:Tools/OpenDevicePatch
   Process  6: Loaded as command: CED
   Process  7: Loaded as command: Workbench
   Process  8: Loaded as command: Status
   Process  9: No command loaded
   Process 10: Loaded as command: SMBFS '//sourcery/all'


then type: Break 10

to stop smbfs (for eg.)

(taken from smbfs documentation, hoping that it works for other programs too..)

I'm having trouble with extracting lha files.

Running "lha x filename" extracts the files, but there is no way to close the window (I can press ctrl/c for a week without result).
Is this a bug with this version of lha (from aminet), or am I missing something?

you could open new cli window and do as I said, or use another version..
there are some 'universal' (un)packers (xadmaster?)with some libraries, look at aminet, and IIRC some version of lzx could also handle lha but I wouldn't use that.

I think it was charasteristic for some versions of Lha, some other version may act better - can't remember which.

LhA is just fine.

CTRL-C does not close a console window.
CTRL-\ does, or you can hit the closegadget of the window (if it has one).
