public class ConsoleWindow
extends Frame
implements WindowListener, ActionListener, ItemListener
This class implements a simple console window, conceptually a replacement for reading/writing to System.out and System.in; The advantage of this over System.xx is that it works with JDB, the contents of the window can be saved, and *major feature* the typein and typeout can be edited. The intended use is as a programmer's shell for messages and simple command processing while developing programs. See the "main" method in this file for an example how to use it.
