Who knows until the question has been asked?  =)

And besides, even if you don't someone else might.  Or they might have
an idea that leads to a solution.  That's why I'm always going off
about communications and community I guess.

Any, here's the question I posted to comp.languages.javascript:

[-- quote begins --]
Hi all,

I've spent several days trying to work this out.  Maybe I'm just
searching for the wrong keywords/phrases.

I have some code that looks like:

[-- snippet starts --]
Console = new Object();
Console.init = function() {
 this.STDIN = document.getElementById('console0_stdin');
 this.STDOUT = document.getElementById('console0_stdout');

 // set styles on the element references, eg:
 this.STDIN.style.width = '100%';
 this.STDOUT.style.width = '100%';
}

Console.focus = function() {
 this.STDIN.focus();
}

Console.writeln = function(buffer) {
 this.STDOUT.value += "\n" + buffer;
}

[-- snippet ends --]

I'm not sure why, but the Console.focus() and Console.writeln() methods
just don't seem to be able to use the DOM references stored in
Console.STDIN and Console.STDOUT.  Everything's fine in the
constructor, but other methods can't seem to use them.

Any ideas?  TIA

Actually, I could (maybe - would have to ask) handle that through the
Atomic OS setup using sourceforge, I think.
