Hi, everyone.

This is more of interest to those who run TG/2, but I finally got a working
¨(and free!) setup to drop to CMD.EXE.  I use the MAXPIPE.EXE utility from
the ¨Maximus/2 archive (very handy and I'll make it available under the
Telegard ¨file area on my board).

What I do is put MAXPIPE.EXE in the main TG directory and then create a CMD
¨file as such:

{at}echo off
d:
cd \tg
set prompt=[BBS SHELL $p]
maxpipe %1 c:\os2\cmd.exe
set prompt=[$p]
cd \tg\temp%1

I like to set the prompt so I'll know that I'm in the shell (sometimes I'll
be ¨working on things and forget).  This works fine and is very fast.  I
don't know ¨what works with MAXPIPE, but IIRC, nearly any VIO (text-mode)
program will.  ¨You might want to make sure you put your term program into
"doorway mode" to ¨allow the use of extended keys (CTRL, ATL,
Fkeys).

In fact, let me go make a little archive for the filebase ...

Later,
Sean
