You may be to set these in the Info window using the parameters >there (keys?), I'm not because I'm a shell kinda guy :\ > >-- >Brian Heil ) University of Iowa If you select the shell icon and then pick the INFO menu item you can set the size of the shell window (or the cli window for that matter) by putting an entry in the TOOL TYPES field. Add something like the following to the TOOL TYPES: WINDOW=NEWCON:0/1/640/100/AmigaShell The first two numbers are the x y position of the top left corner and the next two numbers are the width and height of the window. You may also use the STACK=40000 or however big you want the stack to be for your shell windows. So there is no reason to filezap this stuff on the Amiga, you can configure it how you want through normal methods. -- _ /// /_\ Scot L.
