This is related the last email I sent regarding a TclBlend shell. The patch enclosed here can be used to make the Jacl shell identical to the TclBlend shell. The benefit is to be able to use the same Java based Tcl shell that starts either Jacl or TclBlend depending on what is on the CLASSPATH. Apply the patch to: Shell.java ConsoleEvent.java in the Jacl source distribution. -- Jiang Wu [EMAIL PROTECTED] <<jaclshell.patch>>
