- `More' is for terminal compatible mode -- there are other
- (Intuition-based) viewers.
-
- KingCON is _not_ a shell.

- You can do that. The problem is, the OS's preference programs don't have
- ARexx ports (afaik).

- All you need is pipe-support (a la `list | more').
- Actually AmigaShell supports pipes, but hardly any cli application uses
- stdin/stdout.

- What for? Workbench needs an ARexx Port!
- If you like to open a WB-Drawer window, you could place something like
- rx "ADDRESS WORKBENCH 'OPENDRAWER HD1:Tools/MyTools/WhatIHaveDoneSoFar'"
- in your s:user-startup.
