[SVN] ActionScript 3, 'build fcsh' requires iTerm

[David Eriksson]

Hmm, don't know much about apple script and whats avail in Terminal,  
but just opened the Dictionary for the Terminal and it has

window n
.name
.processes
etc..

so you could either set the name before you start fsch the first  
time, then you'd be able to find it and run the commands.


To be able to run within TM, I have never seen any other bundle  
reusing a running instance of some app, but one way would be to use a  
local socket and make the communication between the nice TM-window  
and the running terminal app.

The output from the running fsch, either wrap it and grab the std out/ 
err or pipe the output to some temp-file which the TM-window could  
read from


Anyone got hints on other bundes doing such things with TM !?
