[Coco] NitrOS-9 Differences.

[Stephen H. Fischer]

Hi, 

Are you saying that: 
-------------------- 
t 
tmode .1 pau=1 
-------------------- 
Are active in the new shell in the new window? 

I see neither. 

OS9:Echo This is a test<CR> produces: 
This is a test 
--NOT-- What it should: 
OS9:Echo This is a test 
Echo This is a test
This is a test

Entering OS9:tmode <CR> produces 
a list of parameters including pau=0 in the new window. 

AND no mention of the ".1" parameter which I looked up in the OS-9 manual again. 

I make heavy use of ShellPlus Variables and Shell Sub Variables so having "t" on is important. 

I am relying on twenty year old memory that indicates that the new shell gets these parameters from the forking shell. 

Variables are not passed which is why I put the var.0=12 on the call to Windows.s 

Plus you CANNOT even do that if the script is converted to a DATAMOD, something I have been very upset about for ~ 20 years. 

NOTE: W.s and Windows.s are in /DD/CMDS.
