Here's what I found by experimenting. It appears a script can modify the path for the CLI executing it, other CLIs are not affected. If you start a new CLI from an existing CLI, the new CLI appears to inherit the existing CLI's path. It also appears that CLIs started from POPCLI aren't getting the path that was set in s:startup-sequence. CLIs started by the workbench do get the path that was set in s:startup-sequence. POPCLI is a utility supplied with the lattice C compiler that will blank the screen and run a specified command when L-ESC is pressed. * * * \|/ * _______ --O-- ____/ KC1VP \____ * /|\ * ______/ (203) 389-8680 \______ ______/ Eggplant Software Tools \________ ______/ 95 Fountain Terr., New Haven, CT, USA, 06515 \_______ / Chris Hind Genly chris@genly.uucp uunet!hsi!genly!chris \ ----------------------------------------------------------------
