- Yes, did I say it shall be an intuition-based reader ?

- Oh man, lean back in your seat and be a bit more comfortable and you will
- notice that anyone knows what I mean, and even *you* know what I mean. I
- know KCon is not a shell but a Console Raw-Console handler. It enhances the
- Shell a lot, and I would like to see a Shell (I say it again, my friend)
- like KingCON. Damit wir uns verstehen, anscheinend hast Du ja Probleme wenn
- man nicht alles 100 protzentig definiert: Ich will eine Shell, die sich wie
- KingCON verhaelt. Du wirst sehen, dass das noch nicht heisst, dass KingCon
- eine Shell ist.

- Yes, you can do an rx 'address BLA;DO IT'
-
- but try to do a 'rx DO i = 1 TO 10; say bla; say i; END' This is just a
- silly example, but there are times, one would like to have direct access to
- REXX.

- Hey, I thought we are talking of a future OS ? Who cares, if they have an
- ARexx port now or not ? This is a _WISH_ LIST (See the Subject:)

- No, you need a scrollable Console. Pipe is nice, but not for anything.

-
- Yes, but you seem not to understand what I'd like to see. I want to open
- RIGHT NOW Work:Graphik/Tools/IconTools/StripIcon/ from a Shell on this
- screen at that moment.

- Why not ? A DVI and a HTML version. That way, you can have all pics, that I
- guess could be in the RKMs in the HTML document. And a DVI version for
- printing.
