- The line:
-
- setvar lineedit 1
-
- is needed in "s:.aushrc" to enable both line editing and
- filename/variable completion. Command completion (from path) does not
- appear to be implemented. TAB on a blank line shows all files in the
- current directory as possible completions.
-
- Now I wonder why a window specification on the NewAUSH command line
- isn't working for me. "NewAUSH" by itself opens a large AUSH window,
- but "NewAUSH CON:10/10/100/100/AUSH/CLOSE" does nothing. A disk
- access takes place, but no error messages, and no AUSH window appear.
