BTW, I have a dream which is that the console is tabbed, and the

needs to code it. :-D .hcI made up the tabs, but I don't want to brute-regex every message
so I need to catch where [print] generates user-made messages.OK... It seems it is well buried in the C side. If I'm right, user messages are composed by print_anything() in x_interface.c which gives post() a single string which calls dopost() which finally calls pdtk_post in pdwindows.tcl. I see no much chance to supply additional information to the tcl
side, do you?
Great start! Tcl's a bit weird, but you can do a lot with a few lines
of code.
Sounds like you got it right. I think you'll have to brute regex it
in pdtk_post for this idea to work. But since its a plugin, I think
its ok if its a bit heavy since it can be easily disabled.
I think the easiest thing to do here would be to create your
own ::pdwindow::pdtk_post and then use the 'rename' command to swap
yours in for the standard one.
