Going through my libraries some more I also have something I call basED.
It's a BASIC style text editer. It was deigned for oddball terminals and
teletypes. I used it in the past on TEK4010 terminal emulators to write
graphics programs by piping icon output through unix plot. I have a
library of plot() procedures that generate the sequences plot looks for
much along the line of screen() or itlib.

From basED one could enter line-numbered code. Save it, un-numbered,
compile, link, and run programs from inside basED. It was real
handy. Not quite an interpreter, not quite a shell. It's about 620
lines so I won't post it unless I some requests
come through. It's written for VMS, but I recall that porting to
unix was probably less than an hour once one is familiar with the
code. It's too big for MSDOS.
