    You will have to be a bit more specific.

    allegro.ilinit should run if it's in the correct path. Check your ALLEGRO_SITE environment variable.

    Hi Dave,

    Thank You for reply.

    My "ALLEGRO_SITE" variable defined correctly - all my functions are loaded from inside "ALLEGRO_SITE/skill/allegro.ilinit".

    I wrote the next lines in "ALLEGRO_SITE/skill/allegro.ilinit.

    load("ALLEGRO_SITE/skill/My_Func_file.il")

    axlCmdRegister("CMD_Name" 'Func_Name ?cmdType "general")

    To autorun the function I added (In the End of allegro.ilinit)

     CMD_Name (or Func_Name() ):

     But it caused the tool to fail on startup. What is done wrong?

    Thanks,

    Kadar

    This is an example of what your ilinit file should contain:

    axlCmdRegister("tidy folder" 'tidyFolder ?cmdType "general")

    tidyFolder.autoload = "tidyFolder.il" 

    To run this routine I need to type tidy folder in the console window.

    If you want a routine to run every time you start Allegro you should look at the axlTriggerSet command. This is a command that I have in our ilinit file:

    axlTriggerSet('open 'tait_OpenAllegroTrigger)

    tait_OpenAllegroTrigger is a Skill function.
