Long story short to use the fcsh compiler you would open up the Terminal and run

$ fcsh

which launches the compiler, then you compile the mxml file as you normally would

(fcsh) mxmlc /pathto/my.mxml

that mxml file gets assigned an ID (say '1'), from then on you use the command

(fcsh) compile 1

I can get fcsh to run from a bundle command, but how I can I have it wait to launch then run 'mxmlc /pathto/my.mxml' the first time but then 'compile 1' thereafter? (All within the original Terminal window). If all three steps together are impossible, could I have it just run 'compile 1' in a Terminal window in which I've manually run steps 1 and 2?

You would need to start a server process that launches fcsh (with its input/output attached to a pipe under the control of this server process) and then communicate with this server process.

The TerminalMate bundle [1] does this, and might be good to look at. Otherwise ask, and I or someone else can elaborate.

I've actually recently put something just like this together. I have it compiling and running in HTML window. I'm just trying to add fdb reading traces to a Dialog window and am working out some issues with tm_dialog. The only real difference is I'm using mxmlc, but if you say fsch is way faster I'll make a quick change to that. Let me know if you have any ideas or want to take a look at what I've done, it makes no sense for us to both make the same thing.

Please let me know if you get this working. This would be way way hip.

Thanks!
