Troubleshooting

Q:
When I try the command `List SYS: | More' I get an error
    PIPE: Unknown command
I have `PIPE:' mounted, what's wrong?
A:
AmigaShell is referring to the command Pipe in the error, not the `PIPE:' device. You haven't installed the commands in the ShellTools archive.

Q:
I get a requester that says
    Please insert volume PIPE: in any drive
when I try any of the command examples.
A:
`PIPE:' is not mounted. Try `Mount PIPE:'. If that doesn't work, refer to your AmigaDOS manual or a friend that knows how to mount devices.

Q:
When I try any of the examples the More window pops up but nothing is shown/I get an error afterwards/More pops up a file requester.
A:
You are not using the standard AmigaOS More command. Either use another name or install a command that supports pipes. Possibilities are the C= More, Less, or Most for example.

Q:
None of these happen but it still doesn't work as you described.
A:
Are you using OS 2.04 later? Are you using the standard AmigaShell? Try with all extras disabled.
