Can't pass filename to dtpad editor
At the command line, If I type:
%dtpad filename &
It opens up a blank dtpad window, just as if I typed:
%dtpad &
And no difference if I give it the pathname, such as:
%dtpad /here/there/filename &
No issues with passing a filename using vi, xedit, emacs, etc...
The SA indicated it's simply how dtpad runs on our AIX box,
but not being able to pass a file to an editor just doesn't make any sense.
Also, when dtpad opens, I can open a file going the gui File->Open route, but it's way too slow and cumbersome. Interestingly, when I go this route the files that come up for me to select are never in the directory where I actually kicked off dtpad:
So if I'm in /here/there, and open a dtpad window, the File->Open route points me to /nothere/notthere...I'm thinking there's a connection between this and not being able to pass a file on the command line, but don't have the expertise to diagnose...
Regards,
Eryck

How can I use the value of an argument as a filename? Example:
The argument for a process is 999. I would like the output of the process to be placed in a file called 999. I have tried using $$1, but that only assigns a unigue number.
thanks
