Different is not the problem, going backwards by implementing a bad design is the problem. Easier to use, faster in use, and more intuitive to use, all of those are good; sadly a scrollable single line command entry area with a kludge to echo the commands to the output area, is none of those things. When compared to using print statements in the code it is a (marginal) improvement... an evolutionary step, the next of which would be to become what it replaced.
Anyway, my moaning about it isn't getting the code debugged, which was that caused a "WTF" moment and these messages, nor is it making life better by replacing what we lost. Is it (the console) written entirely in GAMBAS? If I can get some time I might do something about it.
