2467.0. "invoke VideoTitler V1.1 on harddrive from WB" by FSCORE::KAYE (He who dies with the most toys is dead) Tue Apr 11 1989 17:27

    Has anyone successfully installed VideoTitler on a harddrive and
    made it run from workbench. I followed the installation procedure
    and it runs from CLI, but i want it to start from WB.
    I tried the following:
     o copied VideoTitler.info from floppy to harddrive
     o opened icon and used INFO to change the tool spec
     o double click on icon and it starts, but fails to find the settings
    	file
    
    Should i try a drawer to point to the VideoTitler directory and
    then use VideoTitler.info?

    Bear in mind that under the new 1.3 IconX command, you can invoke
    anything from a Workbench icon by creating the appropriate script
    file.  For example, I wanted to run Matrix Laboratory from a Workbench
    icon.  I created a script file called MatStart which had the following
    lines...
    
    Assign FOR: DH1:Science
    NewShell NewCON:0/0/640/400/Matrix_Laboratory s:MatLabStart
    EndShell >nil:
    
    This script file opens a 640 x 400 console window and then executes a
    second script file called MatLabStart, which is simply the name of the
    program.  The script bit must be set on MatLabStart.
    
    I then copied over a project Icon and made IconX the default tool.  I
    can now load and run a non-WB program from a WB icon.
