11TITLE           Start a console
12
13OCCURRENCE      ARB_NT/Tools/Start XTERM
14
15DESCRIPTION     Starts a console window from ARB.
16
17                The shell in the console uses the same environment as the running arb session.
18                From this environment you may call perl-scripts
19                     - delivered with ARB (e.g. in $ARBHOME/PERL_SCRIPTS) or
20                     - your own scripts.
21
22                The main reason for the execution environment is the ability to easily access the
23                database currently loaded into ARB.
24
25NOTES           The console window is started in the same way
26                as done to call external tools (like RAxML).
27
28                See ARB_XTERM in LINK{arb_envar.hlp} to customize the
29                way arb starts consoles.
