Don't listen to those comments. This is a very good practice. If fact I remember writing a simple Q/A session script for some game or something -- in these forums but I cannot locate it now.
The idea is: session uses smprompt which will tweak the window text and strip output and jconsole has a pattern like: 'Thanks ', 1!:1] 1 [ 1!:2&4 'Name: ' Name: Foo Thanks Foo In fact it's already done in "prompt" verb in 'misc' script. http://www.jsoftware.com/help/user/script_misc.htm#prompt --- "Shaw, Ewart" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thanks Dan. > > I agree with you that > > if you read the comments you can see that at least some of us think > > user-prompting like this is poor practice and should be avoided: ... > > The reason I asked is that I'm tidying up old scripts, and came across > http://www.ewartshaw.co.uk/j3dnc.html > which I would like to see working again, if only for nostalgic reasons. > > Regards, Ewart > > J.E.H.Shaw http://www.warwick.ac.uk/statsdept > Ewart Shaw http://www.ewartshaw.co.uk > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm > __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
