Re: vdosplus "set" command anomalies?

Wengier,


When the "set" command is executed, another vdos window opens -- and it's in that window where the change initiated by the set command takes effect.  So now there are two versions of vdos running.


I assume this is normal behavior(?)  Thanks.

Hi John,

May I ask what is the "new vdos(plus?) window" you are referring to? Thanks.

The vdosplus "set" command, for example


Vdosplus /set LPT1 = "PDFtoPrinter.exe" #LPT1.PDF


or


Vdosplus /set font = consola


leads to a variety of odd xy3 behaviors in the new vdos window which the command opens.

The example in front of me is a simple xy3 macro which loads an HP printer driver.  Perform it in the primary vdos window and it works as expected.  Invoke it in the window loaded after the "set" command above, and it turns normally displayed black text into white italic text.  


Not a pressing matter, but anyone else?
