Well, you won't get it from me! :-> (anyone else remember "The Prisoner"?)
I have no intention of re-engineering the complete wind.o. All I'm
going to do is provide something that allows the console to
1) screen blank
2) have a cursor (I like cursors)
3) Be able to back-space properly (what's the deal, dudes?)
4) handle ksh emacs-mode line editting (stop nuking the
end of my line!!)
5) Do enough smart-terminal stuff to run less and
vi/emacs/ex-open-mode
6) Anything else I get around to (or someone bribes me to
do
No windows, no icons, no menus, no pointers! If I want a WIMP, I'll
go see my MGR (can I say that :-?).
