Aucbvax.6812 fa.info-vax utzoo!decvax!harpo!npois!ucbvax!info-vax Tue Apr 20 07:12:39 1982 Foreign command line >From ECG.RICH@DEC-MARLBORO Tue Apr 20 07:06:38 1982 I've just finished writing a menu driven front-end for most of our utilities. What I've found out from user's is that initially they love the menu, mainly because they have no idea of what util's are available. However after a few weeks of use they know what util's are there and their names. It would be easier for them just to type in the util name at DCL. So what I want to do is examine the command name that invoked the image and if it's not UMENU (Utility MENU) then use it as an option name. Unfortuneately LIB doesn't return the command name. Is there any way I can call CLI$ to get this info? --------
