Re: check out the GUI output

[John Darrington]

1. It looks good.

2. It crashes if I try the LIST command, but otherwise seems robust.

3. It doesn't handle non-ascii, but as we've discussed before, that's
   not really the fault of the output system.

4. Like you say, it lacks features:

4a. It doesn't address the most common complaint we've had about the 
    output system, viz: the inability to copy it elsewhere.  In fact,
    This makes the situation a little worse, since before I could use
    the GtkTextArea's built-in cut-n-paste features ....

4b. I kept wanting to drag the column boundaries to resize them.

4c. Charts would be cool!

             It's quick and dirty and lacks many important features (such as
             scrolling, and not leaking memory), but it does look a lot better 
than
             a text editor window.
     
     I have tested this with literally only one operation: running
     FREQUENCIES on a single variable with three or four values.  It
     works for me, your mileage may vary.
