Wait! Isn't Passive Text File all that VI, VIM, & Emacs is?
Thanks!!

vconsole by default correctly positions the cursor one space away from the
>> prompt, but when one clicks somewhere else [for example to copy a line of
code above] and then clicks back it loses that space. Minor but distracting.
One feature I like very much in REBOL's own shell is that when one does a
'paste' it knows to put the paste buffer directly into the current [last]
prompt.
At the moment vconsole behaves more like a passive text file. Paste
functions wherever the cursor actually is - ie has no shell console
meaning.. Presumably this will be fixed as part of the next major vconsole
essential feature: multi-line pasting ?
Scrolling is also essential along with resize too please!
Thanks+goodluck

Thanks for your comments. I absolutely agree with you. Vconsole v 0.0.4 is a
result of my 3 hours Rebol session so there is a lot of things to do.
Unfortunately here is little explanation ;-):
-------------------------------try this code(watch out line
breaks)-----------------------------------------------
cyphre: make object! [
age: now/date - 15-Oct-1974
free-time: 00:00:00
death: (random 29500) + age
day-length: 24:00:00
time-at-work: does [10:00:00 + (random 5:00:00) - 3:00:00]
time-for-sleep: does [6:00:00 + (random 3:00:00) - 2:00:00]
girlfriend: does [random 4:00:00]
parents: does [random 00:10:00]
eating-hygiene: does [random 1:00:00]
culture-art-sport: does [random 3:00:00]
misc: does [random 3:00:00]
go-live: does [
print "calculating Cyphre's life ;-)"
while [cyphre/age < cyphre/death][
foreach day system/locale/days [
free-time: free-time + (day-length - time-at-work -
time-for-sleep - girlfriend - parents - eating-hygiene - culture-art-sport -
misc)
cyphre/age: cyphre/age + 1
]
]
print rejoin ["Cyphre's free-time in rest of his life: " free-time "
hours..."]
print rejoin ["Cyphre's average free-time(for Reboling) in his
average day: " copy/part form (first free-time) / cyphre/death 4 "
hours..."]
print "Poor Cyphre :( If he could be full-time Rebol
developer...;-)"
print "PS: all values and results of this code may differ from 'true
reality' :))"
]
]
cyphre/go-live
---------------------------------------end of
code----------------------------------------------------
Anyway, all bugs/features you mention above(and many more) will be fixed in
the next release.
regards,
Cyphre

LoL :))
Yes+perhaps future versions of rebol can all include a new word we can all
relate to
reboling-time ??
plus rebol/view can include a new handy widget: request-rebtime
..not to mention actionsscript-time, python-time, design-time.. life-time
cheers!
