A simple GUI text editor from which Glish code may be evaluated.

include "guicomponents.g"



Description
This top level window provides a text editor specialized for Glish. It is specialized in the sense that any text you type can be sent to the Glish interpreter for evaluation. This makes it a good environment for developing (at least) small amounts of Glish code. As of now (December 1996) there are many standard editor features which are not yet available: saving text to a file, reading from a file, inserting text, pasting text, searching text. But all of this is possible in principle because the underlying tk 'Text' widget is quite powerful. Once these capabilities are developed, and sensibly presented in this composite widget, the 'evalwindow', it may be a good environment for the development of even large amounts of Glish code.
