RE: [PyCrust] how do you load and run the Data samples?

[Patrick K. O'B. <po...@or...>]

I had intended to add shell.savefile() when I get the command history
feature in place as basically you just want to save the command history in
its entirety (or at least to a file that you could then edit and remove what
you don't want). But to get a good command history capability I wanted to
make the editor more like a true shell where you couldn't modify previous
input/output except by recalling commands to the current prompt. There are
still a few loose ends to tie up with that and the coloring and such, with
which I'm not entirely satisfied.

As for the menu, I agree and am open to suggestions. PyCrust.py has a menu
so you can see what I've got so far - basically File, Edit and Help. And the
Edit menu choices are enabled/disabled appropriately.

Okay, the obvious next question is what is the process of copying and
pasting or doing a shell.savefile() or whatever to take all or only the
selected part of the shell window contents and making it into one of these
runs? Minus the output of course?

On a related note, should we give the shell (PyCrust) a hierarchical menu in
the Debug menu of PythonCard so it has the ability to respond to some menu
commands? If so, we'll need to coordinate menu ids, functions to bind, etc.
