The structure REPLS offers procedures to start up the
read-eval-print-loop (REPL) from a script.

(script-repl greeting focus-value iport oport eport)

This procedure starts up a new REPL which greets the user with
GREETING, has FOCUS-VALUE as initial focus-value (accessible through
##) and uses the ports IPORT for input, OPORT for output and eport for
error messages.



(remote-repl greeting focus-value port)

Same as above but communication is done via a socket on port PORT.



The structure SOCKET2STDPORTS offers a very simple facility to map the
current input and output ports to the ports of a socket.

(socket<->stdports host port)

This procedure first establishes a TCP socket to port PORT on host
HOST. Afterwards is reads all data from (current-input-port) and
forwards it into the socket's input port. Likewise it reads all data
from the socket's output port and prints it to
(current-output-port).


(with-inspecting-handler port prepare thunk)

This procedure installs a exception handler which captures all
conditions which satisfy the predicate ERROR?. In case of an exception
PREPARE is applied to the condition. If it returns #t,
WITH-INSPECTING-HANDLER will fire up a remote REPL on port PORT with
the continuation of the condition as focus value. Currently, the
continuation of the REPL is the continuation of the call to
WITH-INSPECTING-HANDLER. If PREPARE returns #f the surrounding handler
is called.


As an example for the usage of the remote inspecting utility, consider
a program using WITH-INSPECTING-HANDLER with an obviously bogus body:

>(with-inspecting-handler 8080 
                        (lambda (cond) (display "Help me on port 8080") #t)
                        (lambda () (/ 1 0)))
Help me on port 8080

Now start a second scsh:

[0 gasbichl@ventoux interaction] scsh -lm interfaces.scm -lm packages.scm -o 'socket2stdports'
Welcome to scsh 0.6.3
Type ,? for help.

Unfortunately, SOCKET<->STD-PORTS is currently not able to exit
gracefully if the connection dies:

Error: exception
       os-error
       (channel-maybe-write 32 '#{Byte-vector 10} 0 1 '#{Output-channel 4} ---)

WARNING: Returning does not work from a scsh with a running REPL!!!
