linux ide question

Hello -

LW 6.1 linux 32bits. When it starts there are two windows, the "main" one with a toolbar and menus and the listener window. The "main" window is actually of no use because one can access all tools via menus in listener, editor, etc. windows. I can manually close that "main" window after the startup and proceed with work.

Question: how can I automatically close that "main" window during the startup? Any tricks to add to the .lispworks file?

Best,
 Art


Re: linux ide question

I keep that window up, since it provides a convenient way to shut LW down and close all windows.

But, if you really want to, try:

1. use Works >> Window Browser to find the name (string) for that window

2. from the listener try (mp:find-process-from-name "LispWorks 6.1.0 on <your-machine-name>")

3. (mp:process-kill *)

If that works (it did for me), then read up on define-action and put a (define-action "Initialize LispWorks Tools" ...) in your .lispworks.  I think.
