Enter topic text here.The lack of a prompt in the Windows environment has made testing an ESL for Windows local application more difficult than for our DOS or OS/2 users. Simple solution: Write your own command prompt with ESL! You might write an application that uses a textual region called Display to show input and output:

 

string ExeName is "MyLocalApp.exe"

application MyApplication

 

response to start

   start local MyApplication ExeName

 

response to char from keyboard

   add to Display

   insert input

   send input to MyApplication

 

response to char from MyApplication

   add to Display

   insert input
