Hi,
if one uses a at doit transcript then no special action is required to get
output to appear beyond sending flush to Transcript right? So any solution
that requires special action to get the moronic transcript to work us broken.
We should fix the transcript, not expect every application to work around a bug.

Yes using World dooneCycle is bad, but forking another process not bad
IMHO:
There is probably a solution to make the Transcript less moronic and
refresh the world
(it seems very different from Squeak transcript) but it would be an
uncomplete specific-to-Transcript solution.
The first thing I did when I tried Stef's example in Squeak was trying
to move the window (it was
a bit overlapped by my workspace) but I couldn't.
If we do
[ | m |
[ m := BorderedMorph new borderColor: (Color yellow) .
m position: 0@0.
m openInWorld .
1 to: 500 do: [ :i | m position: i@i .
1 milliSeconds asDelay wait ]
] ensure: [ m delete ] .
] value
we see nothing.
if we replace value by fork, we can see a morph moving , because of the
way Morphic world runs
you know that of course, it's just that this example does not sound nice
to me too.
Wouldn't it be better to execute do-it (s) systematically in another
process ?
and have a friendly way to control those processes, a bit similar to
what happens when you launch your program in other IDEs like eclipse,
visual studio, it starts another process ?
And to start, with a simple right-click menu option : 'Do it async' to
experiment
(from a recent discussion, may be few problems with the inspector,
but that's another point)
I don't know how it works under other smalltalks, does it blocks under
VisualWorks when you execute some do-it ?
