Starting another Shell

Help & Support
1

Hello.

Is it possible to start another Shell instead of cmd.exe?

I am using PromtPal and I would like to open it when I type something in a lister search-field with a ? put in front.

You can use the %ComSpec% environment variable to change the command processor.

Hi Jon,

thanks for your reply but this does not work, because DOpus calls the command processor with /K. PromptPal does not know about this argument.

Edit:

I helped myself with a little Exe, that operates as command processor and calls PromptPal without the /K.

/K is only added if you have @leavedoswindowopen in the button.

It's not a button; it's the inline command field:

Oh, ok yes that goes through the @leavedoswindow command code as well. We'll look at changing this in the future.

Thanks a lot!
