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

[Pablo Vera]

Your example says:

   SHELL "..." FOR READ WRITE AS video

but I don't see the word FOR in this description:

   SHELL "<cmd>[ <args>]" ( READ | WRITE | READ WRITE ) AS <var>

and I am not sure about the parenthesis, so maybe it should be like this:

   SHELL "..." (READ WRITE) AS video

or

   SHELL "..." READ WRITE AS video


Saludos,
