In FoxView you need to remember that if you have a pick configured to 'dmcmd chng_env_dlg' that it will display all the files in the environment directory that end in '.env' . The same is true if you type <CTRL/E> at the workstation keyboard. Further, if your 'Environment Directory' is different than '/opt/fox/env', (cause you changed it in 'init.user') you will get the '.env' files from both places. The first entry in the FILE pulldown menu in all standard environments is configured that way, and as far as I know, there is no way to defeat the CTRL/E. So the first thing you'll need to do is find an alternative way to start up change environment scripts. Now, these change environment scripts don't have to be in '/opt/fox/env', nor in any other specific directory. Perhaps they should go somewhere under '/opt/customer'. Then all the environments under '/opt/fox/env' EXCEPT 'Initial.env' should be removed. (Initial.env MUST be of FoxView won't start up) You could then kick off your environment changes by a number of methods. A couple of ideas: Assign buttons on a Display Bar for each environment to the specific environments which should be available to that environment. Create a separate File menu for each environment which includes only specific environments. Perhaps on the standard "Change Environment" line, replace the 'chng_env_dlg' with the specification of a second level '.mnu' file which only includes the desired environments. Create a File puldown menu for each different FoxView instance, including the name of each instance as part of the file name. Use $DMNAME in the environment's menu bar def file ' xxx.mbr'. Include in the File pulldown only the environments needed for that instance. Good luck.
