[ALLY] BeOS Q

[1/4] from: allenk:powerup:au at: 18-Aug-2000 0:10

Hi Allies, Now that my modem finally works from BeOS and View is available too, I am looking at doing more work using BeOS for writing and testing. I've run into a few problems. In BeOS how do you set the rebolhome directory. I'm finding any calls to load-thru are failing because my cache directory hasn't been created. Where is user.r supposed to be. Is there a simpler way to get view running, than starting the terminal and then running view from it? How do you create shortcuts to launch scripts? Cheers, Allen K

Hi, I don't have my BeOS at hand at the moment but you should be able to create some environment variables with the export (?) command. There exists a config file, which will be run after booting. Robert

I am in the middle of nowhere today (Actually Im on the same property that they filmed The Cell at :)) and dont have BeOS handy. The file that will set the variable @ startup is in /home/config/ oh crap my mind wnet blank. Its a shell script, it should be done in the same place where you change your username from baron, (side note; don't do that. It breaks things badly, Ive already sent bug reports to GoBE and BE) by badly I mean your system doesnt reboot unless you go into safe mode. I think the file is like client-config in either a lib or startup folder. just add export REBOL_HOME=/home/rebol or something to the bottom of it. Brady
