ShellBench  is  a  replacement for the Workbench Execute requester. It
opens  a  small  window with a string gadget for typing in the desired
command.  The  string  gadget  supports filename completion, clipboard
paste, and keeps a command history buffer.

Via  tooltypes  and  an options window, ShellBench offers fine control
over  the  execution  environment of launched programs, including task
priority,  stack  size  and  current  directory.  In addition to using
ShellBench  on-demand for executing individual Shell commands, you can
also  quickly  set  up project icons that run Shell programs in highly
configurable environments.


Recent History:

1.3 (5.4.96)
------------
New: MUI version included. Requires MUI3.0+.

New: Change program settings like current directory directly from the
command string gadget. For example, enter ";cd Ram:".

New: Added ADDTOCOMMAND ShellBench project tooltype, appends project
name to command as well as the names of shift-selected icons.

New: Special value PUBSCREEN=FRONTMOST to put window on front screen,
if public.

New: By setting HISTORYLINES to 0 and HISTORYFILE to an existing
history file, you can keep a 'static' history to which no new commands
will be added. This lets you use the history like the F-keys.

New: Options window now opens centred on main window, if open, but
always retains previous size, if set by user.

New: Boolean tooltype WINDOWMOUSE makes ShellBench main window always
open under mouse pointer, rather than re-open at last position. This
is overridden by WINDOWLEFT/TOP/WIDTH (BGUI version only).

New: Current directory is now displayed in main window title bar.

Bug fix: Corrected bugs in Options window AppWindow handling that
caused gadgets not to be updated when an icon was dropped, and would
cause memory leaks if multiple icons were dropped.

Bug fix: Fixed matching of names to match in target current directory,
rather than ShellBench's current directory.

Bug fix: ShellBench should now be able to find its icon when run from
a Shell with a qualified name eg. "Run Work:Utils/ShellBench".

Changed: Removed Ctrl-C to quit, as KingCON windows opened by
ShellBench when launching a command somehow broadcast the signal back
to ShellBench and would make it quit.

Changed: Options window now fixes gadget heights, putting space
between gadgets.
