Problem with shell commands

[Joerg Fischer]

Hello,

sorry, I didn't pay enough attention, I just copied from the original message ;-)

So yes, now I don't get an invalid null command message. But strangely enough it still does not work.
What I/O descriptors can be open that NEdit sees?
Are stdin, stdout or stderr always open?
