Suggested enhancement to default 4START.CMD

[Lewis Rosenthal]

As we've seen, some people don't proceed with the editing of 4START.CMD as supplied with 3.08.4-shl. Suggest the following enhancement to make it a little easier:

@echo Review %@full[%0] and
@echo edit to suit your needs. Then delete these lines ending with '@set key='.
@echo  
@inkey /k"YN" Edit %@full[%0] now [Y/N]? %%key
@iff "%key"=="Y" .OR. "%key"=="y" then
     start e.exe %@full[%0]
else
     cls
endiff
@set key=

The .OR. may not be required. I'm not certain if there is a configuration directive which may be set to make such matches case-sensitive (by default, we are case-insensitive, so the .OR. is superfluous).

Another option which could be added would be to simply allow the user to accept blindly the defaults and offer to remove the prompt from 4START.CMD.

Ticket retargeted after milestone closed

I think this was addressed by Steven's changes which added the user prompt "edit to suit your needs and delete these echo statements and the pause statement.
Press any key when ready..."

Can this be closed or is something else requested?

[Lewis Rosenthal]

My suggestion was to make the prompt more interactive. However, I (we) happen to see this prompt more often than the average user, simply because we're doing more fresh test installations.

I'll leave it to others to make the call.
