Me, I'd like the source to the 2.0 console.device, so I could add a scrollbar
and ANSI-style escape sequences to set up menus/title bar/etc.

Here here! Whistles, little bits of paper thrown in air, dragging out New Year's Eve paraphernalia (sp?). Although, I would have thought you'd want menus/title bars in the shell? Hmmm... They should be added by esc sequences, but run by the shell, yes? Me, I'd love to drudge through intuition's menu code and try a boopsi'ish integration.... Hmmm. Has notification been added to scsi.device and trackdisk.device? Maybe Matt D. would like to tackle an nfsd too... And, and, I bet Mike S. wouldn't mind a swat at gfx.library... And, and, and... Drat, I'm dreaming again aren't I? I swear, it's those 2.0 steroids. David Navas navas@cory.berkeley.edu 2.0 :: "You can't have your cake and eat it too."

You can do this now Peter, without the source. The window belongs to the application, not console.device, and the place to store an arbitrary number of lines of data is in the application. In other words, storing a history of an arbitrary number of lines can (and should) be done in the console-handler (p.s. - this is still a considerable amount of work, but its much easier to manage within the handler). re: Ansi-Style escape sequence for menus, title bars, etc ... While theoretically doable, once again it can (and should) be done within the handler (you already have a pointer to your window, and the window gadgets, borders, etc., are yours - the device only owns the rectangle within the window in which text is rendered). -------------------------------------------------------------- Darren M.

Picking nits, here. OK, I'd like the source to the 2.0 console-handler. -- Peter da Silva. `-_-' <peter@sugar.neosoft.com>. 'U` "Have you hugged your wolf today?"

I always wanted termcap entries to be added to the console.device.
This way I could open a console.device using different termcaps for
vt100, ansi, etc. The CON: handler should look at $TERMCAP for
which map to use to open the console.device and it should also take
a termcap arguement in the open string.
