Mar 6, 2012 at 2:51 comment added John Fultz @Rojo here's my Windows LinkSnooper kernel's "Arguments to MLOpen": -LinkMode Launch -LinkName '`javaw` -classpath "`jlinkjar`" com.wolfram.jlink.util.LinkSnooper -kernelname "MathKernel" -noinit'

Mar 1, 2012 at 21:44 comment added Rojo :) I've self answered a lot of my doubts in this last hour, thanks
Mar 1, 2012 at 21:23 comment added Rojo @JohnFultz thanks for your answer. I'm finding LinkSnooper very revealing. I'm having trouble with the path strings in Windows (with spaces), but adding it manually to the contextpath environment var made it work, and then choosing mathkernel manually every time.

Mar 1, 2012 at 12:20 comment added John Fultz @Rojo If you want to understand how the FE communicates with the kernel, you should learn to use LinkSnooper. I use it all the time to see what's actually being passed back and forth on the links. Look up LinkSnooper in the docs, which links to a Javadoc page that documents it. Given the sorts of things you express an interest in, I think you would find it a highly instructive tool. If you have any questions about using it, post them here and I'll try to keep an eye out for them.

Mar 1, 2012 at 4:46 comment added Rojo ...style, how it all fits in there, the $Output stream, etc. I'm only guessing so far... What steps are tweakable, what FrontEnd commands are executed. If you can, for example, choose the output to go to a different style other than Output. Anyway... I think that 3 questions in a row it's enough, so for now I'll wait, let the answers flow, sink, see where they lead, and see what important doubts remain... By the way (?), if you have the answer to that projecteuler problem, I'd enjoy checking to see why mine is wrong. Coding is fun, but I refuse to spend time finding what I did wrong, hehe
Mar 1, 2012 at 4:43 comment added Rojo @Mr.Wizard thanks and thanks for the help. I have A BIG interest in the front end, but the lack of documentation makes me dizzy. Perhaps I should post another general question where people can leave links and catalogue undocumented cell or notebook options, front end tokens, etc? Not sure if it fits well on the site... Otherwise, at least a question asking for resources to get a deep understanding of it... I'm on the verge of asking a new question about the front end role in the main loop... Parsing, blah, $PreRead, ___, $PrePrint, and exactly how MakeBoxes, the different forms, the Output...
Mar 1, 2012 at 1:56 comment added Mr.Wizard I cannot figure out how to do this without changing StandardForm -- it appears to be wired this way. I will keep trying.
Mar 1, 2012 at 1:35 comment added Mr.Wizard Thank you. By the way you are asking very interesting questions.

Mar 1, 2012 at 1:05 comment added Mike Honeychurch Rojo, whoops. I've had several windows open and working on a few things at once. the result is lack of attention!
Mar 1, 2012 at 0:56 comment added Mr.Wizard Could you please include a Cell Expression with appearance that you want, with inline boxes, etc.?
Mar 1, 2012 at 0:46 comment added Rojo @MikeHoneychurch, you actually are executing "the output cell" right?
Mar 1, 2012 at 0:29 comment added Rojo @MikeHoneychurch yes, I see a red x^2 when I execute the output cell you get after executing the example
