I am in contact with Andreas Buchinger and I think that he will implement the needed things the next weeks. He already sent me a version where he changed already something to test it. According to current knowledge, it is only two minor things:
- when pressing Ctrl-C, "^C" has to be sent to stdout, not to VIO
- when redirecting 4os2 output to a file (or a pipe), some things (colors, line endings) are changed and filtered. We simply need a setting (commandline parameter or 4os2.ini file) where the changes are omitted in this case.
Then I have reported a bug that when redirecting output to a file and the output contains lines ending with ^M without ^J (Return without carriage) to overwrite the old line (like in a progress text 5% done, 10% done...) the wrong lines are filtered: The lines which are overprinted are shown in the text file and the final ines which should stay are omitted.
If anyone has found other problems with 4os2 and MeShell, please report here. I myself do not use it regulary.
Meanwhile, I began to program syntax completion. It is not very difficult to program. I will also implement program name completion based on the cmd.exe internal commands and the PATH list. The dropdown flyover list is already programmed in my german accounting program "Textbuch". I will implmenent several user settings (flyover no/when pressing TAB, automatically after ...quarterseconds), so anyone should get happy.
