Maybe the solution is to run them in separate processes. The REPL is supposed to run in a separate process anyway in order not to kill the padre instance easily. > A second feature that might be of use would be a command > line version of padre without GUI: lightweight and requiring > minimal infrastructure or overhead.

That's a bit over the top of the head of most of the current Padre developers as we are mostly Perl programmers with little C/C++ background. regards Gabor _______________________________________________ Perldl mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.jach.hawaii.edu/mailman/listinfo/perldl
