Hmm. Very weird.

I have the following JS/HTML code and it runs in the HTML output pane  
of TM:

function foo() {
	var cmd = 'cat "$HOME/afile"'
	myCommand = TextMate.system(cmd, function (task) { });
	myCommand.onreadoutput = output;
}

function output (str) {
	document.getElementById("main").innerHTML = "<pre><span style='font- 
size:9pt'>" + str + "</span></pre>";
}

If I execute foo() (I press a button to invoke foo) I only see some  
of the end of "$HOME/afile" !AND! the output's size depends on the  
total size of "$HOME/afile".

Is there something wrong with my code? I cannot see the point.
