[GRASS-dev] Shell scripts

[Michael Barton]

Attached is a diff that shows how this could be done. It allows you to  
type a command on the output console, hit return, and have the command  
run. You can type display commands like d.rast map=elevation.dem and  
have the map display in the canvas if you have auto-rendering turned on.

As Martin says, this functionality is already in the command entry  
windows. I just shifted it to the output console too. There are a  
couple of items that would need to be cleaned up -- hitting return in  
the middle of a line sends it as a command but also breaks the line.  
Also, commands entered in this way get echoed twice. But this is just  
a preliminary example. It should not change any other functionality  
except for permitting commands to be run from within the output console.

It should be applied to develbranch_6.

I'm not certain that I made the diff correctly (svn diff > file),  
however. So you might want to look at it first, and try this on a copy.
