The only way I can think that it might work is currently beyond my
ability to implement. It would require JD to implement, I think, if
it is even possible. But it would go like this:

I assume the IDLWAVE shell can interact with Emacs, in which case
STATUSLINE would have to detect its being called in Emacs (this much
I know how to do), and then issue commands to the buffer like:
'(newline-no-cr) or whatever the LISP syntax would be to return to the
beginning of the current line without a carriage-return.

Oh well... It is not important. I like statusline, but its output
is critical enough to require me to use an xterm for only a few of
the routines I run.

Maybe I will get around to learning how to implement this after I
have implemented the Perl wrapper that allows subscripting with [-1].
