==============================
SHORT description of KingCON
==============================
KingCON is a console-handler that optionally replaces the standard
'CON:' and 'RAW:' devices. It is 100% compatible, but adds some VERY
useful features, such as..
* Filename-completion (TAB-expansion)
* A review-buffer.
* Intuition menus.
* Jump-scroll. (FAAST output!)
* Asynchronous typeahead. (Optional)
* Cursor-positioning using the mouse.
* MC68020-optimized version
* And more...
========================
Installation and usage
========================
If you don't like reading manuals longer than one screen-page, then
install KingCON by running 'Installation'. This copies the necessary files
and mounts 'KCON:' and 'KRAW:' for you.
To start a Shell that opens in a KingCON-console, type the following (in
an already opened shell):
NewShell WINDOW KCON:
or
NewShell WINDOW KCON:////Testing/CLOSE/JUMP
If you now want to try out the filename-completion, type this:
type s:sta
Hit the TAB-key (directly after the last 'a'), and you will get the idea
with filename-completion. Or do you always spell 'Startup-Sequense'
correctly in less that 1 second?
Even if you don't like it, please read KingCON.doc or KingCON.guide for
a thorough explanation of all the new features that KingCON brings!
