This obsoletes the `run` command but that can be considered in the discussion.
… builtin and the program
francinum
changed the title
- All existing programs have been made to clear the screen themselves. Programs accept command line arguments to execute - a 'kernel commandline' is possible, but not implimented. Shell builtins inside command chains no longer break the command chain early. dbg_cmdline has been added to debug cmdline parsing and program argument calling.

This obsoletes the
runcommand, and I can snip it if you want.Why It's Good For The Game
run medtrakis more annoying thanmedtrak, This also adds support for running programs from the/bindirectory anywhere on the system without having to specify the full path.A test program,
dbg_cmdline, has been added that dumps it's cmdline to the screen and exits. This is also an example of a simple one-shot program.To this end, programs no longer automatically clear the screen on start. All existing programs have been made to clear the screen themselves.
