You can see the wterm demo here:

http://wterminal.appspot.com/demo

  type 'help' to see what examples exist.
  'strrev' emulates switching modes.
As a note: I wasn't trying to build an IDE using wterm, rather I just wanted to be able to push out changes, have a means to look at data. etc etc.

um - eh-hem - yep - I think I got that idea from you :)

> "Also, does your solution handle multiple expressions?"

hmmm... I hadn't actually tried that until you mentioned it here - no it doesn't, but I think that's a matter of defining the arc-handler to do so. wterm just takes what ever I type and submits all of it as a string then returns the response. I should look into that :)

> "And, does it handle 'prn well"

not really... in wterm everthing has to be typed on 1 line and everything returns on 1 line; example:

  AJAX Terminal. To Begin Using type help
  Terminal $ arc
  arc $ (= db (obj how "wterm" what "arc"))
  #hash((what . "arc") (how . "wterm"))
  arc $ (pr db)
  #hash((what . arc) (how . wterm))#hash((what . "arc") (how . "wterm"))
  arc $ (repeat 3 (prn " all on one line "))
  all on one line all on one line all on one line nil
  arc $ 
> "Don't hesitate to ask for any help concerning your terminal."

ok thanks! :). I am going to take another look at your Evserv code to see if I can figure out handling of mutliple expressions. I will let you know if I need help.

Right now I am just so happy being able to tinker with arc via my sheevaplug; which is totally awesome! (+ nothing to do with arc, but I just got twonkeymedia server up and distributing movies and music to my TV - haha I don't need to keep my computer on anymore!!! cheapest, 2 watt, mediaserver I have ever seen).

Thanks for the link.

Yes, I pointed this eventual issue just that you have some ideas for what to work on next / what problems may appear. But yeah, if it fits your needs in this current state, which is already very good, just enjoy!

Oh and all your sheevaplug / twonkeymedia server stuff seems rather cool!

'kens' got me hooked on playing with the sheevaplug. I hope this guy keeps sharing the wealth. Now I just got to come up with a practical use for arc on it.

If anyone else is interested:
