Intro and BCF Texts Question

I'm new to the mailing list, Guy has asked me for a little intro.
In my free time I like to program math-related things. My aim is to write
(and to learn the algorithms of) a computer algebra system in Oberon. I
have done the first steps in Oberon S3 (the processing of expressions,
input, output, and some simplifications of expressions work there), but I
decided to change to BCF.

So there I ran into a problem:

When I open a text document and write something with the keyboard at the
caret position, process this input and write a result by a procedure to
the text, the view is changed at the end of the commands so that the
input is cleared at the original position and appended at the end of the
text:

>> input
<< result

changes to

>>
<< resultinput

Is this behaviour intended by the framework?
What can I do? Views.Update(..) at the fitting place doesn't work,
writing the input in a buffer and inserting it again doesn't work either.

I'm working with Blackbox 1.3 beta for the Macintosh.

Thank you for your help!

Manfred
