That makes sense. I can see the usefulness of it as well. It looks like you could potentially redirect stdout through a dll[1] (windows) and some other mechanism on linux
Do you need to call 1!:2&4 ? Instead, could append to a global noun and then periodically refresh a display of that noun? It seems like each window could run 0!:100 on it's input and then have it's own log of the commands that were entered [1] - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/573724/how-can-i-redirect-stdout-to-some-visible-display-in-a-windows-application On Wed, Nov 26, 2014 at 2:30 PM, 'Pascal Jasmin' via General < [email protected]> wrote: > There would be a single J process.
