Hi, I'm not up to speed on the latest Pharo, but I'll try to offer a couple of tips...

Hopefully it will be possible to provide some kind of compatibility layer to deal with this. The CommandShell repository already has a CommandShellPharo package that I made in November 2010 to address menu registration changes in Pharo at that time. I have not tried to keep up with the Pharo 2.0 changes, but if a compatibility package is possible, this might be a good place to put it. > - when I fixed previous point I wondered how to get the output of a > particular command.

I guess we need a ConfigurationOfCommandShell to handle this properly, but if you load the individual sub-packages (e.g. CommandShell-base and friends, instead of CommandShell which contains all of the subpackages), and omit the CommandShell-MVC package, then you will not have this problem. PluggableTextView is part of the MVC package (a command shell can be opened in either Morphic or MVC).
