CmdLine

About

CmdLine is a prompt component, which has a few extra features to fit better into a VCL environment.

Its main caracteristics but these of an ordinary promt are :

• Dynamic line length, lines which are too long are wrapped
• Independent input buffer so you can still write during input
• History
• Copy/Paste/Cut for Input

If you find Bugs, don't work around please. Contact me, I propably can fix it in less than a day and you don't have to work around again if the next version is released.
