Re: [orca-list] New terminal script. Please test.

[kendell clark <coffeekingms gmail com>]

hi
This is much much better. Terminals that use vte 3.x, like mate terminal
if built with gtk3 and gnome-terminal no longer skip or fail to read
incoming stuff that I can tell, and I tested with alter aeon, a text
based game that can give you a ton of output  all at once to dig
through. Terminals that use vte 2.x don't skip, but what I've noticed is
that when you're typing a command, such as ls, and then press enter, 
orca will read the entire line plus the output. So you'd get, for
example kendell@tigger ~$ls. Audio books music videos ... etc etc.
That's not a complaint though, it's a lot better than not reading at all.
Thanks
Kendell Clark
