Although Eliot's little REPl thing for image testing is cool, it is minimal and would need extending to be generally useful. I took a quick amble down the rabbit-hole to see what other REPL things people have made for Squeak and it looks to me that the most advanced one was the REPL package within www.squeaksource.com/SecureSqueak

It's quite old and includes classes like ANSIStream (which I'm going to guess was a pre-i18n work way of dealing with the Squeak charset issues). It apparently "Requires Comanche (or at least ConnectionHandler and SocketStream)." to quote from the swiki page where I found out about it (http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/2648)

A modernised version would be a nice thing to have. I'm pretty much certain I've heard of work on a 'squeak shell' too - which I suspect would be Craig? Am I remembering something about 'squish'? - but I can't find anything right now.
