/* The file defines a class Console. Objects of type Console are windows that can be used for simple input/output exchanges with the user. Various routines are provided for reading and writing values of various types from the output. (This class exists mainly because System.out and System.in don't work very well, at least not for beginning programming students.) This class is dependent on another class, ConsoleCanvas. To use a console in a program, write a class with the usual "public static void main(String[] arg)" main program. In that program, when you create an object of type Console, a console window will open. Let's say that the name of your variable is con. You would declare "Console con" and then set "con = new Console()". You can then interact with the user with statemens such as "con.putln(x)" and "x = con.getlnDouble()". When you are finished with the console, you should close it using the close() method: "con.close()". You won't be able to compile and run your program unless the Console and ConsoleCanvas classes are available to it. Console.class and ConsoleClass should be in the same directory as your program when you run it. When you compile your program, either the source files, Console.java and ConsoleCanvas.java, or the compiled class files, should be in the same directory with your source code file. (If you are using a development environment such as Visual J++ or CodeWarrior, you can add the source files to your project.) Note that when a console has the input focus, it is outlined with a bright blue border. If, in addition, the console is waiting for user input, then there will be a blinking cursor. If the console is not outlined in light blue, the user has to click on it before any input will be accepted. (This is a newer version of a Console class that I originally wrote in 1996.)
