local pipe = sys.Pipe("cmd.exe /k chcp 65001>nul")
edit:append(pipe:read(100))
function entry:onSelect()
local cmd = self.text.."\n"
-- write command to pipe
pipe:write(cmd)
-- wait for command to execute
sleep(150)
edit:append(cmd)
-- append error msg if exists
edit:append(pipe:readerror() or "")

edit.selection.from = edit.selection.from - 1
edit.selection.text = pipe:read():gsub("^"..self.text, "")
self.text = ""
