<p><b>New page</b></p><div>In Mini Micro, a "shell" is a program that launches other programs, and which is automatically re-run when those other programs exit. You can make any program a shell by storing its path in <c>env.shell</c>.<br />
<br />
The <c>/sys/demo</c> directory contains three shell programs:<br />
<br />
* <c>demos</c>: lists and easily runs a subset of demos<br />
* <c>desktop</c>: a simple desktop-style graphical interface<br />
* <c>lcars</c>: a futuristic sci-fi graphical interface<br />
<br />
In addition, these are defined (by code in <c>/sys/startup.ms</c>) as commands in their own right. So, for example, you can launch the desktop shell by just entering <c>desktop</c> at the command line.<br />
<br />
Once you have a shell defined in <c>env.shell</c>, you can return to it from the command line (or a program) by using [[exit]]. But note that pressing control-C will always break out to the MiniScript prompt, even if a shell is defined.</div>Marc Gurevitx
