1393.0. "FCL directly from $ ?" by DUCAT2::64544::LICAUSE (Al Licause (338-5661)) Mon Aug 26 1991 15:44

    Either it can't be done or I'm missing something very basic.
    
    I'd like to be able to jump right in the FCL interface rather than
    first having to go to the command line.
    
    When I start MCC, I do a $ MANAGE/ENTERPRISE/INTERFACE=CHAR, which
    takes me to MCC>.  The I have to do a USE MODE FORMS.
    
    I'm note quite understanding the use of the /PRESENTATION switch.
    If I try $ MANAGE/ENTERPRISE/PRESENT=MCC_FCL_PM.EXE, it gives me 
    an error of:
    
    	%SYSTEM-F-IVLOGNAM, invalid logical name
        %SYSTEM-E-IVLOGNAM, invalid logical name
    
    Is there a way to go directly to the FCL or must one first enter
    the command line mode?
    
    Either I'm using old documentation or, If this can be done, it is
    not clear from the doc's.
    
    Any help greatly appreciated.

1393.1The logical name IS invalidTOOK::T_HUPPERThe rest, as they say, is history.Mon Aug 26 1991 16:209
    Change your command to:
    
    $ MANAGE/ENTERPRISE/PRESENT=MCC_FCL_PM
    
    The name of the presentation module is interpreted as a logical
    name by LIB$FIND_IMAGE_SYMBOL.  The ".EXE" on the end makes it
    an invalid logical name.

1393.2It doesn't workTAVIS::PERETZTue Aug 27 1991 02:425
I tried it and it doesnt work! The MCC_FCL_PM logical points to mcc_fcl_pm.exe
but the command mana/enter/present=mcc_fcl_pm gets me to the mcc> command line
prompt, not to fcl. Whats wrong?

1393.3Try using an initialization fileCSC32::WOESTEMEYERWhy??...Why not!!!Tue Aug 27 1991 08:004
    Have you tried using an initialization file with a 'use mode forms'
    imbedded in it.  I have done this ans so have some customers.  This
    brings up the forms mode without having to stop at the command line
    first.
1393.4Now it works.DUCAT2::64544::LICAUSEAl Licause (338-5661)Tue Aug 27 1991 08:398
As in .2, I tried using the command with the /PRESENTATION switch, removed
the .EXE tag and it also started in command line mode.

I then defined the logical MCC_INIT to point to a command file with the
single line USE MODE FORMS, and now when I type MCC, it starts up in FCL.

Thanks very much.

1393.5A nit...NSSG::R_SPENCENets don't fail me now...Tue Sep 03 1991 12:406
    A point;
    
    the MCC> prompt IS from the FCL but in command mode. FCL stands for
    Forms and Command Line.
