Thanks for the quick reply

Yes, I know...

Not at all. No error message is displayed, simply SHELL command seems to
be ignored by the interpreter.
As for launch my program I'm using a shell script (you can see it in the
previous posts), I'm not able to run gdb against myprogram.gambas, or
myprogram (without .sh extension).

A simple example could be a function I'm using to know if a program is
running:

SHELL "pidof " & someprocess TO somevariable

This sentence is "bypassed" without notice...
The same for all others sentences using SHELL.

As said before, when I run my program from the IDE or compiled
executable  without using GB_DIR, all runs fine.

If you need some other tests or VNC access I can setup a server right now.
