Because I can us the Process_Read() of the terminal process to control
things inside a terminalview running a shell like bash or dash.

I have working a routine that can "Wait" and get return codes/text from
commands running inside the bash terminal but it reeds to read the terminal
text that has a lot of hidden codes to process out.
I know there is terminalview.text but reading each bit as I t comes and not
all the text is preferred.
