A new oracle, TerminalWindowRun, types into Java's own command line
window: the window writes each line after its prompt, takes a blank
line, cls, reset and exit itself, keeps the lines for the arrow keys,
and keeps its text, history and working directory over a stop and a
start.
The room now holds a command line window per computer for everyone
(TerminalWindow), kept over stops; the protocol carries its lines and
the one way to read them (terminalScreen); the core goes on in the
working directory of the run before (continueIn). The desktop opens
programs in Java's frame, and the command line works with keyboard and
finger: grey on black, the prompt hidden while a command runs, history,
chips for the commands, Ctrl+C. The room's failure is now tested in the
browser.
Fixed: the room handed the engine the wall clock with fractions of a
millisecond, and a ping hung after its first timeout. The engine and
the room count whole milliseconds, as Java's clock does.

Java's mode buttons start and stop the room, now in a worker of the
editor's page (LocalSimHost), with Java's speed slider. While the
simulation runs the design is locked as in Java: no palette, no sheet,
nothing moves, no undo. Cables that carry a frame light up in Java's
green, and a tap on a computer opens its desktop: Java's title, the
software installation first, then the installed programs in the order
of Java's list for the language, a taskbar with the network icon and
the network as the simulation runs it. The room sends that over a new
topic, node:<id>. Desktops stay over a return to the design and show
again at the next start. The programs' windows follow from F4.6b.
