Most systems in fact do it this way. I don't like it because I find it easy and convenient to do a lot of typeahead, and I like to get immediate feedback of what I type. Cuts down on typos. Of course you could always implement a console.device that worked the way you like it... one nice thing about the Amiga is that if you don't like any part of the UI you can always change it. > Looking at a hardcopy or a screen, you > cant tell whether any given character was typed ahead or not. -- Darren I generally tell because I know what I typed. -- Peter da Silva. `-_-' .
