I think it is more a problem with conman (I like it anyway). I ran into
similar problems with the regular 1.3 Shell. I wanted to replace the
standard NewCon: handler with the ConMan handler in the mountlist. I did
this in the prescribed method and it seemed to work fine. Except when I
typed Newshell to start a new shell it came back with an error and
couldn't open a window! Works fine with NewShell NewCon:0/0/100/100/Shell
etc.! Then I found that this is also true of AShell! If you just type
Ashell you ge the same type of error message back but typing
Ashell Con:0/0/100/100/AShell works like a champ! I do this with dmouse
and can hotkey 20 shells if I want. If memory serves correct you
get errors trying to do NewShell(AShell) Con://// too. Anyway I think
the problem is with ConMan. This is with ConMan1.1 Rev2.

I'd be interest in others experiences.
