[GRASS-dev] Re: GRASS-dev] Re: Shell scripts

[Michael Barton]

 From the testing I've been doing, it looks like we can easily  
collapse the command entry functions into the StyledTextCtrl output  
window and do away with the separate command entry area. This tab  
completion of commands could be run through the STC tootip interface  
or possibly the autocomplete interface. I've mostly worked out how to  
get a listing of maps to insert using the STC autocompletion interface.

This makes for a simpler, cleaner, and potentially more functional CLI  
interface for the GUI. It seems like a good idea to head in that  
direction. What do you think?
