I have a AmigaDOS script file that looks something like this:

ASK "Wanna do it?"
IF WARN
DoIt
DoItSomeMore
ENDIF
ASK "Did you like it?"
DoItAgain

If I run this from a shell, all is well. If, however, I use ICONX, when I
doubleclick on the script's icon that I created, ICONX opens a window, the
lines:

Wanna do it? Wanna do it?

appear in the window and then, regardless of what I do, the window closes
after a second or two.

This script worked fine from ICONX before I modified it by putting in the
ASKs. What don't I know that I need to know?

This is under WB 2.03 on an A3000-25/50. The script is loading a preset
screenmode and palette before launching A-Max.

Thanks.
