Display logged commands in a text pane

Synopsis
gui()

Description
This will place the current commands in a text window for editing, saving, and submission to glish or a batch queue.

The scripter gui has an autosave feature which is turned on by default scripter.autosave. You may disable the autosave feature by setting the .aipsrc variable scripter.autosave to F or off. There are two additional .aipsrc variables that let you control the autosave feature, scripter.autosavetime and scripter.autosavefile. The default auto-save time is 30s and the default auto-save filename is .scripter_autosave. The auto-save file will stick around unless the scripter-gui edits are saved explicitly. If the scripter-gui detects an auto-save file it will prompt, whether to load it or not.

Clear

Clears the scripter of all commands.

Dismiss
