Console window?
[1/4] from: joel:neely:fedex at: 27-Apr-2001 7:05
Running REBOL/View 1.1.0.4.2 on RedHat Linux 7.1, launching View
from
term window works fine, but when I click on the "Console" button,
the
View desktop disappears and no console shows up.
The only way out of this situation that I've found thusfar is kill
-9
of the first rebol process (e.g. in top).
Thus, my two questions:
1) How do I get a console window?
2) Is there a better way to shut rebol down in a
no-window-displayed
situation than kill -9?

The term window becomes the console. You should NOT start View
in the background, or your shell might not give View control over
the term window once you switch to console. If you did start View
in the background then type "fg" into your term window to switch it
to the foreground. (All assuming you are using a shell with job
control, like bash).

See above.

A normal kill should do. No need for the brutal -9. Alternatively
Ctrl-C should do as well, provided that View is the foreground
process.

Duuuuh! That's exactly it... I was firing rebol up with
rebol &
but was expecting rebol to open another window as its console
(in the same fashion that I'd already seen with w2k). Using
fg
did The Right Thing. I've obviously been spending too much time
in w2k and not enough at the coffee pot!
Thanks again!
