I am not sure what can be done to reach this. Is it possible by
modifying the TK front end or does it need a new function in newLISP.
So when I do this:
> (silent(print "Test"))
Test_
The cursor (_) stay behind Test and does not return to the prompt.
When I hit on enter again it shows:
> (silent(print "Test"))
Test
> _
What I want, is a silent with return to prompt:
> (silentret(begin(DoMyProc)(print "Done")))
Done
> _
For what can it be used. I want to make my own app with a console window
with a small height (only a few lines) at the bottom of the screen.
The user should be able to type in a command and get a feedback
on the line above of the prompt-line.
Possible?
Hi Hans-Peter,
You could fake it!
> (define (myfunction) "this is myfunction's return value")
> (silent (myfunction) (print "Done") (resume))
Done
