engines code:

local newShell=multishell.launch({file=PrName.."/main";}, "edit.GML")

files code:

shell.run("edit "..file)

Thanks for the fast reply :)/>

EDIT: Oh I forgot to add "edit" my bad :/

Your solution currently runs another shell on top of the currently running one. The problem here was that when launching programs with multishell.launch or os.run you have to pass the shell and multishell APIs to the program yourself:


multishell.launch( { shell = shell, multishell = multishell }, "edit file.txt" )
