-
- So there is really no need to replace the shell/cli (like you stated).
- You could easily write another console handler, if you are not satisfied
- with the one you have, since shell doesn't do any I/O itself and does
- not need CON: in special.
-
- To my mind it is much more important to focus on the inner parts of the
- OS that can't be enhanced from outside (or only with nasty patches).

-
- No I don't understand. The way you describe it, it works from the shell.
- The way with a (ARexx-)port should work (smooth) from every application.
- If you like an OpenWindow-Shell-Command, you could make an alias.

- For dvi-Files a special AutoDoc2dvi-Converter could give good results.
- For html with inlined pictures more effort would be needed. I hope the
- few people at AT have other priorities.
- Btw: There aren't any pictures in the RKRM 'Includes and Autodocs'.
