- Find the program called PSX, which stands for "PublicScreenX". It should
- be on one of the Fish disks, as that's where I got it from. :-) Anyway, I
- have this A3000 setup with a 724x482 8-color Workbench and a 724x482 2-color
- shell screen. Here is what I have in my user-startup to do it:
-
- psx open "Shell Screen" hires lace depth 1 pop
- newshell "con:0/0/724/482/Amiga Shell/CLOSE/SCREEN Shell Screen"
-
- That should do it for you...
