RESOURCES

The new resources are

The value for this resource is the string displayed in the command area. NB There seems to be a Motif bug that makes this resource useless.

New methods for this class are
appendValue
error
commandChangedCallback
commandEnteredCallback

appendValue command
appends the command to the string shown in the command area

error error
displays the error message in the history area

setValue value
replaces the string displayed in the command area

 

CALLBACK SUBSTITUTIONS

The substitutions supported for this class are:
%reason -the aditional values are
command_changed
command_entered
%value - the string showing in the command window

 

BUGS

A Motif (1.2.1) bug makes the command resource always show as an empty string, so you have to use the %value substitution in a callback.
