Let's make it an essential convenience then :-) I have two more developments planned for the shell, one easy -- one tough... The tough one I mentioned already, which is, use a library like PyUSB to control the popular JTAG Mk II ICE the Forth way. Let's mention the easy one, perhaps we shall have a volunteer coming up. Let's say we need to send new Forth code to a client to introduce a new feature or bug fix. The client, unfortunately, cannot be expected to have a sophiticated uploader tool like our Python based shell. All he/she has is something akin to minicom (Linux), tera-term (Windows), etc. A simple solution is to add a "distiller" mode to the shell where alongside its normal work it would capture to a file all the characters uploaded to the SUT (system under test), that is, past name substituion, past all #include's, etc. The end result would be one compact file which our client will be able to upload via his simple terminal program. Anyone?
