Before SFSGui executes a command it displays what it's going to run So you 'SHOULD' be OK :-\ @ENDNODE @NODE "reqs" " "Special Requirements"" Special Requirements: SFSGui uses the awnp.handler By Bill Parker to create a ClassAct GUI . Included is the Most recent public version 2.23 (12/11/99) it also uses Libs:rexxsupport.library to get the active screen name and mouse positions All you'll need if you don't already have it is the Superb SmartFileSystem By John Hendrikx http://www.xs4all.nl/~hjohn/SFS/ Currently FreeWare (30/11/99) @ENDNODE @NODE "feat" "Features" SFSGui has all of these features.. ---------------------------------- Finds SFS Partitions: @{" " LINK "devg"} : Knows a SmartFileSystem calls a RigidDiskBlock Editor: @{" " LINK "rdbe"} : to Add/Remove/Update Partitions Configurable Default NewName: @{" " LINK "newn"} : 'Empty' By Default Use Device Name as NewName: @{" " LINK "dname"} : eg.

Hide : The Default (no args). gives a .Recycled dir but it's Hidden . ie. it can only be seen by typing the path in a shell or filerequester Show : adds SHOWRECYCLED to the format command. gives a .Recycled dir and it shows as a normal WB icon None : adds NORECYCLED to the format command. Does Not give a .Recycled dir @ENDNODE @NODE "prefs" "Configuration" SFSGui's Settings. "Format" is the path to SFSFormat . eg.

Select an item to edit it. Click it again (not Double Click) to Edit the name Field the command is the path to the command and then you set the args.
