Hello ! No at the moment Klaus and I keep the command line interface (this was the status of Thursday). In `emacs' it does not look very good at the moment (especially the amount of `^H' to blank the line, but in "emergency" cases, `emacs' can be used. You can send amount of `^H' or better a `^A^K' and use `emacs' editing features to paste in a new line.
But of course, this is not the final editing method we want. It is a question of time, idea and design to change this ... Controlling the line editiong by `expect' is possible with the current implementation of GRUB, I have tested it. If I have time, I will play around with a new version of emacs, as some chnages of the new version may affect our design also. I do not like to "throw away" the current feature of the command line, so I hope we find a method as Klaus in the new dumb menu, to hold all editing functions, but also to have a good interface to cannonical terminals.
