Start of a DEMO facility to run demos from inside Medley #1118

I think BKSYSOBJ should be a separate lispusers package. It will evolve separate from this particular demo. |

what DEMO needs is a DEMO object that can
(a) open a web page
(b) eval something in a named process
(c) bksysbuf something
(d) play a video that had been fetched
(e) fetch a video when clicked ahead
(f) click on a button that's visible
etc etc
I'm no sure what BKSYSBUF is good for except for demos but sure, I can make
it a separate file again, if you want.

HISTMENU uses BKSYSBUF.

@Michele31415 I meant in this context, of a TEdit Image Object which, when clicked would BKSYSBUF to a matching Exec. It isn't reliable enough to use it programmatically, but as demo-ware it's useful. |

It could be useful in a debugging session, where you need to keep trying the same set of inputs over and over (hoping for a different result).

Could we make DEMOs for the #1097 screenshots? |

The DEMO-0VERVIEW.TEDIT has a zero instead of letter O in the filename. I.e., it should be DEMO-OVERVIEW.TEDIT. |

The file name starts with 0 (zero) instead of O (capital "O"), which may not be what you wanted.

it should be TEDIT.INSERT.OBJECT. I think the whole package is "aspirational" -- most of the time was spent practicing the talk and preparing the TEdit files. I really wanted a self-driving demo but didn't have it. |

I think there might be a charset issue? The image object is (BKSYSOBJ |

It seems to work as intended and it's a good start.

I have been experimenting with BKSYSOBJ for Loops testing with the idea of possibly automating those tests in the 'test' repo that are labeled 'hand'. See for example the files in the Loops repo PR Interlisp/loops#18 which uses BKSYSOBJ if you (MAKE-TEDIT-TEST TESTAV1) you will wind up with a TEdit file in which each of the steps of the test script are BKSYSBUF'd into the exec window. This is another use case, and I think we might be able to do more automatic testing for things as well as demos. |
