Are there shortcuts in Workbench 3.1?

'ClickToFront' is less than 4k in size.  A shortcut in Windows probably is larger in size than that. ;-)

I know but I just want everything to be organised.

At the moment I have a problem. I created my scrypt under SYS: and a new icon (project) in a partition Documents: however I cannot understand how to make this icon execute the script in SYS!

Put them in the same directory... they should be named "myscript" and "myscript.info" (or any other name of your choosing, but there must be a file and a file.info in the same directory).


Ed: alternatively, look at the Shell icon, "FROM=S:Shell-Startup" tooltype as an example of how to use a different file. (This might be restricted in how you can use it.)

Thanks again. I managed to make the script run by using the FROM parameter as you suggested I then used the RUN command to run the wanted program.

I now just have to understand how I can use the CLI to run a script without actually opening the CLI window.

Rather then asking one question at a time (hopefully not annoying you) - is there a place where I can learn more about these things.

Do you mean run the script from the icon?

in the C folder is a program called iconX  (think it comes with the OS)

If you right click on the Icon for your script and go to properties, where it says 'Default Tool'  put

C:iconx

That should make it so the script will start just like you went to CLI and ran the script.


As for inside the script you can use run >nil: instead of just run which will keep CLI windows comming up everytime a run command is issued in the script.

Using

Run >NIL: myscript
EndCLI

I managed to run the script and close the CLI window. This is good enough for me for now. However I am intrested to know if it is possible to run the script without actually opening the CLI window (maybe through some other way?).

I tried to play a little with the IconX - however I think this is only usefull when the script and the icon are in the same directory, which is not my case.
