Actually, it would be pretty hairy. You would have to set up an interactive
interface to what is essentially a batch program. I'd rather have a filter
that grokked the output of make and cc and sent the commands to the editor.
Kick it off from wsh. How about Arexx itself? You can pipe to it in wsh.

Why, look, you don't need that port after all!
