Apologies if there's someplace to find this information on the web; I didn't see it if it is --
I'm working on my linux machine right now, and wanted to play with Shoes, which I've only used on the mac... I download the latest Linux shoes build and I get this wonderful shell-script thingy which self-extracts and runs Shoes scripts and then deletes the self-extracted bits, but I'm assuming that's not the optimal way to use it -- extracting every time. Also I'm not sure how to get to the console or the manual in that environment, not having my Mac menus anymore. I see, fooling around with it, that I can extract the whole thing to a directory... OK... and then I can put a link to the "shoes" executable in a directory in my PATH... OK, I've got that. And *that* shoes executable gives me the manual with --manual. OK, I guess I answered my own questions except how to get the pretty Shoes console back. :) Where's the console in Linux? And I'm used to having one shoes Application running, which I can use to open up a copy of the manual and run my scripts and open new scripts and stuff... but it looks like in Linux the thing to do is run one instance of Shoes containing the manual, and generally run one instance per script? Cause were not on a Mac now, so there's not this persistent Application which appears in the Dock and is represented by a bare main menu.nib? mentally adjusting here... Thanks!
