The cfg file is included before the terminal window is opened. This makes a lot of sense, since the cfg file can set the terminal window size and the menues; doing that after the terminal is open would at least irritate the user. So the .( text) goes to the standard output, which in Windows is a file, and in Linux is the terminal you are starting from (maybe invisible). If you say "also minos openw previous" at some point in the cfg, the window is opened instantly, and all following messages go to the terminal window (do that after including menu.fs). -- Bernd Paysan "If you want it done right, you have to do it yourself" http://www.jwdt.com/~paysan/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
