Couldn't you get a lot of the functionality with very little work by using the GNU readline facility?
Yes, you are right. However that would make Ciao dependant to that library... Surely there are interesting features that could be implemented in that way (for example, tab-completion, etc.), however the current design of Ciao relies on Emacs to implement most part of the user-interface. ============================================================================== Message: Address: Action: help majordomo(a)clip.dia.fi.upm.es Info. on useful commands subscribe ciao-users-request(a)clip.dia.fi.upm.es Subscribe to this list unsubscribe ciao-users-request(a)clip.dia.fi.upm.es Unsubscribe from this list <whatever> ciao-users(a)clip.dia.fi.upm.es Send message to list ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archived messages: http://www.clip.dia.fi.upm.es/Mail/ciao-users/ -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
