WBDirShell
==========

WBDirShell is an ARexx script which provides the ability to open a
console window to the currently selected Workbench drawer. It supports
custom startup scripts and console window paths via environment
variables.

A basic script which adds WBDirShell to the Workbench Tools menu is
also provided.


Requirements
------------

- OS 3.5+ (tested with 3.2.1, any version with ARexx-enabled Workbench
  should be fine)
- ARexx running (RexxMast needs to be started from S:User-startup or
  with a higher priority than WBDirShellMenu.rexx if started from
  WBStartup)

Installation
------------

1. Copy WBDirShell.rexx to REXX:

2. Copy WBDirShellMenu.rexx and its icon to WBStartup, or use your menu
   editor of choice to create a menu item which runs WBDirShell.rexx as
   an ARexx script.


Usage
-----

Select any Workbench drawer window, and choose the Tools -> Open Shell
Here menu item to open a new console window in that drawer. If no
drawer window is selected, then the console window will open to the
SYS: drive instead.


Customization
-------------

WBDirShell supports the WINDOW and FROM options of the AmigaDOS
NewShell command via the values in ENV:WBDirShell/WINDOW and
ENV:WBDirShell/FROM. You can use these environment variables to
customize the appearance of the new console window or to run a custom
script when opening a drawer with WBDirShell.
