*forth messages*

Open larsbrinkhoff opened this issue 9 years ago • 2 comments

My initial idea was that *forth* is for user interaction, and that responses when running interactive Forth commands should go somewhere else.

This "somewhere else" could be a *forth messages* buffer. If a message is only a few lines, it could also be copied to the echo area.

I'm not sure if this is a good idea, or if it's better to mix everything inside *forth*.

That would require the user to have one more window open.

What about having a separate pop-up window show up for errors, like elisp and SLIME do, and keep the rest in one single interaction window?

I'm not doing anything actively with this repository now, so I'm open to experimentation. Your idea sounds good.
