Thoughts on User Mode

[Tim Wessman]

I would like to expose ability to create an editline for input and getting entries in a similar way to the current EDITLIST, EDITMAT, and a new EDITLINE (seems to be the best name).

I would love some feedback and design proposals from the community spelling out what you would like to see and how it would work. I wouldn't like to make a large number of commands to handle it, but with some clever thinking we can probably come up with some good solutions!

If you think you want to take a crack at designing this interface and input, now would be your time!

In addition, it is slated to redo completely the text printing to make it better to use. So changes or a new proposal unifying or improving TEXTOUT, TEXTSIZE, and PRINT to allow clean printing of formatted and non-formatted text, 2d vs non-2d, math objects, and similar would also be greatly appreciated and received at the moment!
