Update of /cvsroot/monetdb/clients/src/mapiclient In directory sc8-pr-cvs16.sourceforge.net:/tmp/cvs-serv26440

Modified Files: MapiClient.mx Log Message: Blockmode is an interaction feature for MAL. It allows you to enter multiple lines before it is being set for execution. Sending is triggered by an empty line.

Ehm... I thought we killed linemode some releases ago, and only support blockmode these days.

Yes. But the option was still there and not working. The feature was relevant for MIL, because its reader wasn't too clever. Then postponing execution was an option.

In MAL you can now enter multiple lines

I am not sure if this really useful, because it raises the issue that you might want to call an editor on the buffer to correct it.

So maybe you should call it "Batchmode" instead of "Blockmode" to avoid confusion.

good point.

But perhaps we should drop it completely.
