Implement command history

LRESPR PTR_GEN first ?

I don't use the pointer environment or know anything about it (but Dilwyn's site says it can be used without PE), or is this just a utility please?

Many thanks

A quick look at the doc file shows PTR_GEN called first. IIRC it introduces a new CONsole driver which I guess History links into - I may be wrong.

Ok, thanks (I struggled reading the docs)

Will give it a miss as I'm not into the PE currently, maybe it's a project for me to work on

Many thanks

You don't really need to know anything to use PTR_GEN (just LRESPR it to make it resident). The only difference you'll probably see is it manages a jobs (aka program) windows, when you switch between jobs it neatly deals with restoring/saving screen contents.

Works great on the real QL, thanks

Was concerned ptr_gen might eat a lot of resources but doesn’t seem to

Many thanks
