Hello!

Is there any method to use the Shell API in my own API file?

If I try to use it (e.g. src = shell.getRunningProgram()) I receive the following error message: "attempt to index ? (a nil value)"

Thanks

you can include it in a program. not an API, if you define the function shell.getRunningProgram() then it will work (IT MUST NOT BE A LOCAL FUNCTION)
