Ah, I'm lookiing at the code and I can see that it has a little
problem with quoted arguments, I'll fix that.

My bad, always forgot about documentation ;)  You correctly note that
it really should be called spawner.dll and then require() will work
out of the box.

out = spawner.popen(cmd)  -- does prepend cmd.exe /c (depends on COMSPEC)

This can be useful because you can both write to a process and then
read from it.

inf,out = spawner.popen2(cmd)

These are file objects, but I couldn't work out how to make them

gtk - switch previous buffer

Using SciTE Buffer Switch code [1], I added in Lua startup script

function switchLastBuffer()

    if buffers[2] ~= null then

        scite.Open(buffers[2]) -- last previous buffer

    end

end

and in User Options File

command.name.6.*=Switch Last Buffer
command.6.*=switchLastBuffer
command.subsystem.6.*=3
command.mode.6.*=savebefore:no
command.shortcut.6.*=Ctrl+6

So I replicated ctrl+tab in windows box.

(if it is a well-known workaround in gtk, I apology)

Regards,
Alberto
