Bloody good show! Suggestion for a Neat Demo; extend this a little to
a) print out the answer as the return code or to stdio or whatever.  
There are some prims that should help do that without too much extra  
image code. I think. Maybe. Easy to add a primPrintStringToTerminal  
anyway
b) accept simple equations as startup args
Making a little Smalltalk commandline caculator app. Won't be 1700
