John,

I can't think of what I would use it for now, but it sounds like a good
idea. I would love it if you could come up with something like lou_allround
for Windows, but I know that would be too much work.


Best regards from Ohio, U.S.A.,

Subject: [brailleblaster] Doing multiple subcommands without restarting

Right now, BrailleBlaster is restarted for each subcommand. It might be 
convenient to be able to type multiple subcommands, such as checktable, 
without having to go through the java -jar Brailleblaster.jar process 
for each one. This idea was prompted by the need to do multiple 
translate commands without reloading to find some bugs in the file2brl 
method. Multiple subcommands would be activated by placing -mult after 
brailleblaster.jar This could then be followed by the first subcommand. 
BrailleBlaster will then execute this and show a prompt for the next 
subcommand. When you have done all of them you would type exit at the 
prompt.

What do you think of this idea?

Thanks,
John
