Purpose
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
The `readline console' provides a simple, but reasonable powerful
|
|
console window for running standard I/O based applications that may wish
|
|
to access Windows functions.
|
|
|
|
The console window is inspired by both the X11 xterm application and the
|
|
GNU readline library. The text is buffered to provide for window
|
|
resizing and scroll-back. When reading input by line, an Emacs like
|
|
editor is provided for editing the input line. Old input lines are
|
|
remembered and used by the history system.
|
|
|
|
|
|
