[code]
' Gambas class file

Public sOutput As String

Public Sub Form_Open()
   TextArea1.Insert("#>")
End

Public Sub TextArea1_KeyPress()
   If Key.Code <> Key.Enter And Key.Code <> Key.Return Then Return
   Stop Event
   Shell Right(Split(TextArea1.Text, "\n").Pop(), -2) To sOutput
   TextArea1.Insert("\n" & sOutput & "#>")
   TextArea1.EnsureVisible   ' (That's nice, Benoît.)
End
[/code]


You can of course change the default colors of the TextArea to a light on dark to simulate a terminal. But, the cursor will 
likely become invisible and is not easily changed.
