I love the ability to recall commands with arrow keys - kudos, Nico!   
but, I agree with Bob - it is a pain to have to click Execute to send  
the command to the applet.

I don't see why a multi-line entry is useful; I have never found it  
so. it seems to me that the applet Console is more for entering  
commands one at a time.  is it possible to make it a single line,  
with the Enter key doing the same as the Execute button?
