I am looking for a shell command that might exist on Morphos that would do the following. On AmigaOS 4 we have WBRun which has different behavior depending the file, i.e. if you give it a path it will open a Workbench window with that path in it, if you provide a file, it will open that file with the default tool like unarc for the lha files or multiview for the text files, but if you give it an executable, this will be executed as it is run from Workbench.

Sure, WBRun exists on MorphOS as well, but it misses some of the features I described above.
So, I am looking for a similar tool in MorphOS. Does anyone know a tool like that?

Thank you all for your help.

Hi walkero,

You speak about mimetypes ?

As it happens every time, you might search for hours for something, and as soon as you post a question in a forum, you get the solution the next minute. I think it happens to everyone, right?

Anyway, I found that there is the command Open in MOSSYS:C which works the way I need it, and it is awesome.
Please ignore my question above.

As far as I remember I also added URL support. :)

I use that command all the time.

Yeah, it is pretty good, and I didn't know about it.
Is there a place where someone can find documentation for all the commands that come with the system? Or a way to do it inside the shell?

You can get help for commands with Chelp in the shell. It's kind of shell interface for the MorphOS Library, so if anything changes at the MorphOS Library, it will be automatically updated on Chelp too.

Just type... open.

And you get an ambient window located at the shell path.

It is just performing a double click on a file or calling openurl using it as argument. So basically it is doing nothing but redirecting the arguments.

You can also specify any number of arguments, which is quite handy sometimes.

If you want a more specific drawer to open, you can use rexx.

RXCmd AMBIENT "LoadURI *"file://sys:c?view=icons&mode=thumbs*""
