Check the documentation that came with ConMan v1.3 -- it has the complete instructions for how to use ConMan with AmigaShell. Basically, what you do is delete Commodore's Mountlist entry for NEWCON:. You then place a new entry for NEWCON: in the mountlist that uses L:Conman-Handler instead of the Commodore supplied handler. The docs for ConMan give you the exact stuff to place in your Mountlist; I'm not at my Amiga right now so I don't have access to the documentation. After you do this, doing something like NewShell "NEWCON:0/0/640/200/AmigaDOS Shell" should bring up AmigaShell inside a ConMan window. -- Michael Portuesi * Information Technology Center * Carnegie Mellon University INET: mp1u+@andrew.cmu.edu * BITNET: mp1u+@andrew UUCP: ...harvard!andrew.cmu.edu!mp1u+ "Some say that knowledge is something that you never have" -- K.
