I wan't to make a program where you press on an object it runs "edit"
Like so:

edit myAwesomeFile

But I get errors....

[HPWebcamAble]

Can you post the code you have so far, and the error you get?

[LeDark Lua]

engines code:

local newShell=multishell.launch({file=PrName.."/main";}, "edit.GML")

files code:

shell.run("edit "..file)

Thanks for the fast reply

EDIT: Oh I forgot to add "edit" my bad :/

Ahh i figure it out:

local newShell=multishell.launch({debug=true;_wiObjID=instance.getID();}, "/rom/programs/shell", "edit", PrName.."/main")

Your solution currently runs another shell on top of the currently running one. The problem here was that when launching programs with multishell.launch or os.run you have to pass the shell and multishell APIs to the program yourself:

multishell.launch( { shell = shell, multishell = multishell }, "edit file.txt" )
