Let me please add two more things:
1) if you typed "print 1+1" you would see "2" displayed
2) there is a method in RunJPython named 'eval' which will return the
PyObject result from evaluating an expression. As far as I can tell,
however, it is not used in the editor environment.

I do not believe Curtis (the author) intended this to be a "Jython
Console", which does display the toString() value of any object that is
returned. To my knowledge there are only 3 "editor/runners" for Jython:
this one, Jext, and jedit. [There is also a Console.py in the Jython
"demo" section of their distribution (which I've also been including in
more recent installers for Windows and Linux) that does some emulation
of a command-line interface but does not have an editor.]
jedit has a jython plug-in which does give you a 'console' feel. The
only problem (a show-stopper for us) is that it does not allow new
protocols to be registered (thus we cannot access image data using the
adde: protocol). Jext is currently our "mini-IDE" of choice (not the
current release, but the CVS version plus a few additions we've handed
to the author). I do not know if either of these would be easy to
integrate into your application as you described before.
