Scripting
Is there a way to compile a automation script, something like: PUBLIC SUB Button1_Click

dim plog as boolean

if plog = true then SHELL "poff" else SHELL "pon dsl-provider" end if

END

This appears to be a question of unknown context. Ask this in alt.comp.lang.gambas for clarification and resolution. - Mark Hobley

Gambas without KDE
Is there a way to make a gambas application act as a shell for a user? I need some users to turn on the PC, logon and fall directly into a Gambas program, without any posibility of using any other thing, not even the desktop. When they quit the program they must be logged out.

I will research a solution to this. Obviously, we need to ensure that the user logs in on an X11 capable terminal, and we need some sort of wrapper that will start the X11 engine, run the gambas application, and then exit. In the meantime ask on alt.comp.lang.gambas - Mark Hobley
