Package: wnpp Severity: normal Gate is text-gatherer. A text-gatherer is like a text-editor, but much more lightweight and unobtrusive.
If you have a program or shell script that asks people to enter a small chunk of text, a text-gatherer like Gate is a good way to do it. It doesn't clear the screen (annoying if there were just some instructions printed there, or, in a conferencing system, if the response you are responding to is displayed there). It doesn't require you to know a lot of obscure editing commands. It doesn't make excessive demands on the intelligence of your terminal emulation software.
