RE: A85: Shell Switching/Multiple Shells on same calc
Yes, but I'm making a menu that will execute programs from ANY shell.
I'm not making a shell switcher. I already did that, but I am going to
make it so it runs the programs from other shells, on the same menu,
without making a hybrid shell.
And that little trick doesn't work with Rigel. Sorry. I've tried it,
and it doesn't work. I think it might have something to do with the
length of the name of the shell string, or something, plus the custom
menu object is in a different place.
