csh alias with .openwin-init?
---------------------------------------------
I'd like to be able to use my csh aliases in the .openwin* files.
For example, say I have this csh alias:
alias window1 'cmdtool -Wp 0 450 -Ws 980 415 -WP 1072 114 -Wt ...
Then, in .openwin-init I'd say:
toolwait window1
And in .openwin-menu I'd say
"Window 1" window1
---------------------------------------------
SOLUTION:
The .openwin-init file is written in 'sh', so 'csh' aliases won't work.
The easiest solution is to use environment variables:
setenv WINDOW1 'cmdtool .....'
and then in .openwin-init:
toolwait $WINDOW1
