Records are called „methods“ in JShell

[Lingo Coder]

Thank you Robert,

> „...And send us what it prints...“

You'll see below that right after I did `/set format normal typeKind`
it still said, „created *method*...“. I also recorded it. [1] 

But then right after `/set feedback verbose`, it said „created
*record*“.

However, after an `/exit` and a relaunch of `jshell --enable-preview`,
it
reverted back to „created *method*...“/„dropped *method*... “.

I _vaguely_ recall creating `mymode` and doing `/set feedback -retain
mymode` 
way back in 2017 when JShell first came out. I think. I'm not 100% sure
tho.
So I'm guessing I need to do `/set feedback -retain verbose` to
permanently
get „created *record*...“ Correct? 

TIA.

I have a theory, maybe the following can illuminate...

Couple more things to try:

    /set feedback

    /set format normal typeKind

And send us what it prints.

Also, after you have entered:

    public record ConstExpr(Expr e) implements Expr{}

Type:

    /type

and

    /method

Separately, what do they print?

Oh, and if you want to try one more thing:

    /set feedback verbose

    public record ConstExpr(Expr e) implements Expr{}

Sorry, I don't have Windows, but I believe Jan has access.
