where/whereis and

Run$Path?
Especially since more and more command-line tools get ported
to RISC OS and they all
extend Run$Path or add more and more modules.
They behave like the unix commands of the same name:
where (or whereis) will find all
occurences of a (possibly wildcarded) command,
which will find the first (unless the
-a switch/option/modifier is provided, in which
case it will behave like where.
The program(s) should be placed somewhere on your path, e.g. in
$.!Boot.Library if you are using the new
!Boot
structure or $.Library on older machines.
RISC OS Select and Adjust
users may want to use directory
$.!Boot.Library.User.
The utilities can be run from the command line (F12) or
from a task window (ctrl-F12) or from desktop frontends
that require the DDE modules (provided with Acorn/Norcroft
C and C++) or its freeware replacement DDEutilsCy.
A recent version of DDEutilsCy is included in the
GCC development
suite for RISC OS, see
gccsdk.riscos.info.
