[Gambas-user] SHELL syntax not as advertised???

[Christopher Brian Jack]

I'm bad for forgetting subject topics :(

The documentation seems off for the SHELL command:

As per the offline docs in 1.9.23:
  SHELL "<cmd>[ <args>]" ( READ | WRITE | READ WRITE ) AS <var>

When trying the line:

...
 16: PRIVATE video AS Process
...
'MainScreen is the name of a Form
285: SHELL "mplayer -wid " & Str(MainScreen.handle) & " -slave -noconsolecontrols -nojoystick -nolirc -nomouseinput" FOR READ WRITE AS video

I get the error:
Unexpected AS in Line 125 of Intro.module

So what is the correct way to use shell to drive a console command

On another note mplayer seems not to like what the handle property is
giving back as an ID ([BadWindow] is XLib's complaint).
