Two questions about 1.3's Iconx program:

1) What's the format for the WINDOW= tool type? The 1.3 manual omitted this
   litte detail.

2) How can I do an assign to the the current directory?
   I'm trying to get some demos running on my hard drive that make
   references to volume names, and in the interest of portability, I'd 
   rather do an "assign demo1: ." (where "." is the current directory
   like Unix does it), than have to do "assign demo1: ff1:demos/neato".

   Editing the Iconx script if the demo is moved somewhere else on the 
   hard drive is a minor inconvience to me, but it's beyond some users,
   and I'm trying to make it as painless as possible.

   I don't think AmigaDOS has any easy way of referring to the current 
   directory, but perhaps someone has written a program to deal with
   this?
