Dear Arjan,

Thanks for your reply - that is indeed helpful.

I see what you mean that there is less space on the ncurses gui. But 
using the html report is rather "non-discoverable".

For maximum friendliness, might I suggest:

1. When the user exits the ncurses gui, a log of the commands that were 
actually invoked should be printed to stderr.

2. The command that was just run could perhaps be put into the status 
bar at the bottom of the ncurses gui?

Thanks

Richard
