To fix this the ability to send smalltalk commands upwards from the
VM to be executed might be an interesting idea. This would require
some agreement of how to setup the cmd in the VM and some smalltalk
changes to trigger the action.
Thoughts everyone?
Maybe on unix certain kill commands could trigger the same feature.
Mmm even add the ability to receive applescript to execute Smalltalk
code heh? Security, security, .... mmmm Thoughts?
