Regarding AmigaOS 3.2.2 ...

Thanks for the replies. I agree it would be a bit tricky to change the icon in ENVARC: each time I launch my program (and go back and reset the icon when done). I don't want to upset any "global" variables used by the Shell console or any system programs.

Thanks,

Hi Tony,

Let me back up a bit. I am not attempting to replace the new Shell console with the old console or KingCON. I use the Shell quite alot and I am very pleased with the new look and features, especially the scrollbar and up and down gadgets.

Back some years ago, I started programming with ...
