[Gambas-user] Console questions

[Rolf-Werner Eilert]

Good morning folks,

Just playing around with console applications. Opened a new project and 
made a "Hello world". There are some questions...

About the GUI: When I press the Play button, I can't see anything (of 
course). But isn't this somewhat unlogical, I mean, I have to make a 
binary and start the binary from the command line in some terminal. Play 
should open a terminal, shouldn't it? Or should it simply be disabled?

Is there something like CLS in a commandline app? How do other programs 
- like "top" for instance - handle this?

If the application is opened in a terminal window within the GUI, the 
window can be changed during operation. Clever commandline applications 
will adapt their row/height ratio to this. How can I read the number of 
rows and columns?

Thanks for your help.

Rolf
