You have to copy the app to "/data/tmp" as that is usually the only
place on Android with a Linux file system that all users have access to.
You can't look in there so you kind of have to fly blind. :-) "Terminal
IDE" makes this easier, assuming you have a compatible Android version,
since it provides the Linux file system space, term emulator and easy
access.

This was what I thought Paul was looking to do. FreeVision might work
depending on a number of variables... but I'm not familiar with it. Most
Android terminal apps would provide some kind of VT100 like emulation so
you may have to force FreeVision to output for that emulation. If it
tries to use a "termcap" through normal means it probably will crash.


Thanks Jon *very* much for the details that you shared! I hope to get time to get back into this soon and I'm sure that your notes will help.

The last problem that I had *three years* ago was that I failed to get the mouse to work in the text mode IDE (I did have a keyboard and mouse that worked in Android). The mouse is not absolutely required for the simple programs I'd like to do.

Regards,
Paul
