Is there anyway to redirect a process i/o to the serial.device? In essence I
want to be able to do a CLI or SHELL andrun different console type programs
through the serial.device. I know there are programs to do this (like serserver)
but this is for my own program (so I need to create my own routine or find a
PD one). I don't suppose there would be any way to set the stdin, stdout, etc
in the FORKENV struct to a file associated with AUX: or SER: ??? I didn't
think so. I would rather not write another device if at all possible. 

Also, does anyone have a list of functions or docs for the req.library? (any
version would do..but the newest one is desirable) Just the dox. 

I would appreciate Mail replies but I will attempt to scan csa.tech as much
as possible. 

A budding enthusiast..

newshell AUX: from s:aux-startup

Make a file in s: called aux-startup and
have it turn off requesters and then execute s:shell-startup.
To turn off requesters you will need a program that pokes
((struct Process *)FindTask(NULL))->pr_WindowPtr to -1.
You should be able to find canned programs to do this on
Fish Disks, etc.
