Hello,

I want a program to start in a folder called "/svdragster/programs/" anywhere where I type its name, like CraftOS programs.
Is that possible, or do I need to make a fake shell :P/>

shell.run("/svdragster/programs/whatever")
or
os.loadAPI( "/svdragster/programs/whatever"),
if I recall correctly.

You'll want to look into shell.setPath.

shell.setPath(shell.getPath()..":"..("/svdragster/programs"))

doesn't work, attempt to call nil

shell.path not shell.getPath … got to love inconsistent method names :P/>
