Hi,

As one of (I suspect) a dieing breed of intensive sam users
I like send appending \n.

I believe it's a matter of outlook. If you regard sam's command window
as a typescript then you tend to assemble a command at the
output/input point which requires many laborious cut and pastes.

I can imagine not having to move the mouse before doing the paste would
then seem very attrictive.

If however, the history in the sam window is just text then one is
quite within ones rights to 'change history', edit it, double click
to the right of it (to select it) and hit send.

I do this dozens of times a day.

just my 2¢ worth ;-)

PS. thanks Rob for releasing it alll those years ago, it has been
a pool of sanity in an ever changing OS enviroment.

it was done this way for consistency with 'send' in the old blit window manager.
isolated in an editor, it makes much less sense.
