I understand how its disconcerting. Exactly how I felt when the combine i/o
script interpreter appeaded :)
It just boils down to what you are used to I guess. My personal preference
is for the separate input/output (obviously), and others prefer the two
combined. The tcl interpreter I use a fair bit uses a combined inteface, and
I hate using it. I open up notepad or something, type my scipts in, and copy
and paste them. Same goes for WinCVS (since it uses tcl as well)
I think we can just have the two windows there to cater for everyone.
On an unrelated side note. I have array parameters and associated java
scripting happening at the moment. So I've got javascripts accessing mesh
vertices working, its really neat.
