Two features that got lost.....

As far as I remember, once upon a time JNode had a cursor in the text console and even in charva.
It was also possible to execute the dir command in the root directory and get a decent response, unlike nowdays when JNode gets frozen in this situation.

Anyone has got a little time to look into these things?

Seeing them should be a very shocking experience for somebody wanting to try out JNode... Smiling

Generally speaking, it would be nice if JNode could preserve the existing useful features while it is beeing extended with new ones.

Cursor is Back

I have revived the cursor. Checkout cvs HEAD, I've tested on the console, and in text components in charva, and it seems okay. Let me know if anything is awkward.

Thanks

This is good news! I committed a minor improvement for the cursor appearence where the backround is exchanged with the foreground. This way the cursor does not hide the current caracter in the console.
I wonder why the cursor is shown for a short time at the beginning of the current line before it is placed at the right position...

Cursor at start of line

There is a design inconsistency in some TextScreen classes in which setCursor(x,y) means move the cursor, but it also means set the "current" location of the text output, so in effect the cursor moves as text comes out on the screen. I thought this would be a trickier redesign, so I left it alone.
