SHELL- The Command Line Interface for the Amiga where all commands are entered.

Internal Commands

NOFASTMEM- This kills all your fast memory to allow more software (mostly games) to run.

FORMAT- Click on this to format disk. It allows you to select certain options such as Directory Caching to speed up the reading of your disk etc

REXXMAST- This is the Amiga's batch file processor. It was added in Workbench 2.0, allowing programs too communicate with each other, and is one of the Amiga's strong points. The IBM Operating System uses a similar system called REXX, but the Amiga version is better.

INTELLIFONT- This checks all fonts are installed properly so programs can access them. It handles structured fonts, such as Intellifonts, which allows the smooth resizing of fonts in DTP packages such as WordWorth, Final Writer, PageStream etc.

FIXFONTS- This does the same as Intellifont, but for bitmap fonts used in most art packages such as DPaint, PPaint, Photogenics etc. These fonts have a fixed size, so if you attempt to alter them they will appear jagged.
