make-console

Create a console

SYNOPSIS

(make-console)
(make-console :module module)

DESCRIPTION

The make-console procedure creates a new console in a new toplevel window. By default the interaction loop is placed in the current module (and changes if the current module is changed). If the console is created in a given module, thanks to the :module option, it is tied to this module. This second form of console creation is particularly useful in debugging phases to set or consult variables which are not exported in a module.

INITIALIZATION

Use (require "console") to load the console package.

DEFAULT BINDINGS

The defaults bindings are identical to the text bindings except the up and down arrow of on the prompt line which allow to scan the command history.
