- I think I've found another bug...
-
- Create a .cmd file, say C:\newsessn.cmd, which will spawn off new
- copies of cmd.exe:
-
- @start "Command Shell" /f /n c:\os2\cmd.exe
- @exit
-
- Now, attach this to your Desktop Menu by:
-
- Open->Settings->Menu->(Popup Menu):[Actions on menu] Create another:
- Find Program-> (Select OS/2 Command File) -> Find -> Ok
-
- Now, when you hit your right mouse button, it will spawn new copies of
- the command shell... As many copies as you want...
-
- Now, shutdown, and restart. Try spawning command shell... It _won't_
- work... Try Open->Settings->Menu->(Popup Menu):[Actions on menu] Settings.
- The button clicks, but it won't work!
-
- If I'm allowed to "attach" the .cmd file in the first place, I should be
- able to get it back after rebooting. If not, OS/2 should forbid me from
- attaching my shell (and Xterm, and ...) launcher...
-
- BTW, it works when you attach a "binary" to the menu, but I don't want
- to do that. (I want to dedicate the binary's icon for the "one true shell")
