a Forms control yet a la PyCrust? Maybe a component with an in/out/error,
start/pause/reset, and an exposed memory object that could be hooked into a
textbox or the like?</FONT></FONT></FONT></SPAN></DIV>

color=#0000ff size=2>It'd be nice to pair up the interpreter's response with the
input that triggered it, but especially in a multithreaded case, asynchronous
responses not necessarily tied to an input could occur. I imagine this
would entail a parallel set of streams and a consumer that would route tagged
output. That of course would require that the interpreter generate and
keep track of an input tag during processing, and cc the parallel streams.
A flagged behavior, I think.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

interpreters, it could be a big win for plug-in scripting, you think? They
already have similar things going on with C#, VB, and
CodeDom.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
