Great post. It's amazing how so small a script could accomplish so much. The techniques shown even open the door to create customized shell prompts.

> " We have been thinking about exposing a TOKEN-NOT-RESOLVED event which would call a user-defined function which would allow you to do runtime fixups. If we had that mechanism in place, you could do this. Hmmmmmm.

Hmmmmmm. Interesting idea, but on balance I'd say no thanks. NetSh is a much more specific environment (and I would agree about the love/hate thing on the way it works). I'd add that if you guys are busy there might be better things to focus on:-)

Hey Jeffrey,

That's great news - I had mentioned that to you guys before, but in the context of a comparison to Tcl's "unknown" proc, and I'm delighted to hear you're seriously considering it. I think that's a great idea - it would really open up Posh for the most insane extensions and mix-ups.

Cool!
