That is more tricky.  The thing is the console view is rather ...
difficult to use(read not intuitive) for example the cursor
must be a the rigth position before you are able to type in ...
there is no histor, no completion etc ....

John Cortell and some other folks are proposing to have a __real__
command line interface and views and the folks at Eclipse debug
seems also to be open at the idea ... so ... future looks good.
