Save it to /usr/man/cat1/launch.1 launch (1) NAME launch - adds application to the GS/OS quit stack DESCRIPTION launch programs that are not fully compatible wth GNO. Such as ProSEL 16 and ProDOS 8 applications. Once it's added to the quit stack, you can excute the program by "exit"; if you ran gsh straight from initrc. If you are using init, type "init 5". You probably want to alias them to gshrc for quick use. SYNOPSIS launch [-n] {full path name of program; no namespace} -n do not add GNO to the quit stack; upon exiting the launched application, you will return to the application that launched GNO EXAMPLES alias pt 'launch /diskname/proterm/pt3.system;exit' alias pt 'launch /diskname/proterm/pt3.system;init 5' AUTHOR Jawaid Bazyar -- frank m. lin fmlin@netcom.com
