Merlin from ProSEL launch issue

Greetings, I've run into an issue when using Merlin 8 from ProSEL. Launching Merlin with a prefix set to a different location (in this case my source tree) to the Merlin installation directory works fine, except that the full screen editor is not loaded. For the moment, I'm PFX'ing after Merlin launches but my recent 'agile' development process has me flicking frequently in and out of Merlin and constantly redefining the prefix is driving me somewhat BSC. Any ideas? Matt

Switch to Merlin 16+ and use Lane Roath(e)'s Project management utility that can set a prefix and load a source file based on configuration. from merlin main menu :d :pro ? <- gets you help on the tool regards, Andrew

That would work, but would unfortunately mean I have to switch to using a IIgs, which for me is a downgrade (I sold my last accelerator) For the moment, I'm copying ED and my PARMS file to the source locations - messy, but it works :-) Matt

Just to follow up: After chatting with Tony Diaz (thanks Tony!) I installed a 65816 in my Transwarp I and switched to using Merlin 16 instead of Merlin 8. This has almost completely solved the above issue. I can specify an alternate prefix and STARTUP command in ProSEL which lets me launch Merlin 16 and load my main source file in 3 keystrokes! Agile developing once again. Matt
