I just think the stdout and stderr ought to be visible at the same time. Or perhaps it would suffice to show stderr above stdout, or automatically switch, or something. > Typing in your > command script in the input window and causing it to be executed > should start a subshell.

And you could head each 'output box' with the command which produced it. (Though numbering could be useful too.) I'm considering writing a 'next gen' 9term, if you'll excuse the expression, and these ideas (a terminal 'canvas', and separated streams) sound like they would be a very nice fit. cls
