Re: gEDA: writing to gschem log window via scheme

[Dan McMahill <dan@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Carlos,

That was just the push in the right direction that I needed.  I added 3 
new functions, gschem-log (writes to the log), gschem-msg (displays a 
message in a dialog box), gschem-confirm (displays a message and gives 
you an ok/cancel choice in a dialog box and returns #t or #f).

I'm thinking that the whole embedded scheme thing is a goldmine that we 
haven't begun to tap into.
