I have a dialog box running at all times that will send commands to the terminal window. I need to constantly monitor the terminal window to see for changes manually made so that my dialog box can update itself. How can I constantly monitor the terminal window so I can parse the string and look for certain commands entered?

Is your script reading text that will always appear in the same location, such as a menu or display on the screen? If so, you could use termgets to read a string from a certain row and column on the screen.

To get a random string that the user types and the response to that may be difficult. If you are just trying to detect what users are doing outside of your script, you could make it modal so that they cannot click outside of it (to the main Procomm screen) and force them to do all the operations through the script.
