A-Shell Consolidated Reference

The A-Shell implementation of INFLD supports a built-in hot-key mechanism allowing you to "pop up" utility programs (also known as Desk Accessories) of your own design. When enabled, the designated hot key will launch a child session (or window) of A-Shell which runs ASHPOP.RUN, a simple-minded menu program intended to be modified by you to contain items of interest to you. The source is provided, in [7,376], exactly for this purpose. We also provide a ready-to-use pop-up calculator in a program called ASHCAL. You can use these as is or as templates to put a lot of extra capability at the fingertips of your users.
