AM I going crazy, or was there a VT300 emulator available a while
ago? If there is/was can somebody make it available for me?
Lastly, can anyone tell me how to use the ASK command in V1.2, I
want to do something like this in startup-sequence
ASK "Do you want to load WB?"
IF 'Y" then LOADWB
Any help gratefully received
Martin

re the vt300 emulator...I haven't seen anything on it, but SMOKEY
is a great vt2xx emulator! (as good as vt100 -thanks dbw-, vt2xx
is further improved -thanks mike-)
as for the ASK program...if i remember, it sets a fail code or
something like that..I'll poke around all my stuff and see what
I can find...too bad its not a real amigaDOS command...
another alternative is to use the Shell! (another great piece of
work thanks Matt, and especially Steve)

Re: ASK
1st. I support suggestion of using SHELL 2.07
2nd. Just in case ...
Failat 20
Echo "Do you want WorkBench (Y,N) ?? - "
SKIP ?
LAB Y
LoadWB
LAB N
LAB <-- In case of <RETURN>
... do what you want....

O.K. This is what I call revisiting a problem.....
This is how you use ASK
ASK "Do you want to load WB? (Y/N)"
IF WARN
SKIP LOAD_WB
ELSE
ENDCLI
ENDIF
LAB LOAD_WB
LOADWB
ENDCLI
The error condition is set if you reply "y". Seems an odd way to
do it....but who am I to reason why?
