[REBOL] Re: Command window or Desktop

From: gregg:pointillistic at: 22-Mar-2007 11:41

Hi Michael, MC> Is there any way to start up the command window from the desktop and still MC> leave the Desktop up? Only if you use something like Cyphre's experimental View Console. If you do "?? desktop", you'll see that it starts the View event loop, which affects the console of course, because it's the same instance of REBOL. Deeper in the viewtop code, this is what it does to go back to the console: halt-view: does [ ; Close the desktop and open the console: unview/all about halt ] So you're alternating between running the event loop, and not. I always thought Cyphre's idea was so cool (a console emulator written in REBOL), and that you should be able to write a nifty, simple, IDE, where that virtual console could be an interactive debug window. -- Gregg
