Was thinking about the fact that some GUI's are wrappers around an
existing command-line utility. On linux, brasero and cdrecord are one
example.
Then was thinking about man pages and the fact that some have been
converted from their original text format to html.
Maybe there is a next step for man pages?
What if we created a sort of interactive man page that included each
different argument, with its description, and a textbox to enter a value.
Each command would have a list arguments, and a submit button at the end
that outputs a functional command, and possibly executes it.
Then, with a web-browser, there would be a graphical front-end for every
terminal command on a linux system, even without installing any
rich-client-type GUI's.
The same could possibly be done for words in Factor.
If I'm not mistaken, current Factor documentation is generated from source.
Imagine that there were a utility that takes a Factor word and outputs
an html page with inputs and outputs, provided that both input and
output are strings.
Then writing a simple web app would be as simple as defining a new word.
Has anyone already patented Factor-on-rails?

If you use ``ui.clipboards``, you can do this:
IN: scratchpad USE: ui.clipboards
IN: scratchpad "Factor is awesome" clipboard get
set-clipboard-content
Now, just paste!
(One could argue the api could be a little cleaner and hide the use
of namespaces when using the standard system clipboard, so if you
have suggestions after using it, let us know).

Is there a word for printing to the clipboard instead of to the
listener output?
