- I'm not sure if this is right, since apparently they've removed the
- "shell" command from the Workspace under 3.0 and I don't have a 2.0
- machine handy to test it, but, the workspace may be getting its info
- from the defaults database. I know it maintains an
- "applicationspath" variable, which says where your NeXT apps live,
- this may or may not be the same thing.
-
- To look at your defaults, you can do a "dread" but I can't remember
- the syntax of that, or get DefaultsMgr from the archives.
-
- Anyone know why they took the shell out of 3.0?
