Hi - sorry, I'm jumping into a thread without reading the whole context.

I implemented a REPL for Squeak quite some time ago. I'm not sure if
it still works. You need a telnet client to connect to it.

I used it mainly for resetting Morphic when my experiments went
astray. It doesn't support auto-completion, but there is online help,
line editing and history (IIRC?).

Gulik.
