I haven't got Ian's proposal in my archives here.

TEXT is currently defined is a method to add explanatory text to the questions. Maybe we should add a command oposite to GO, which says "start building a new display, of type (error|message|input)". Then we could ditch the RESET command and use that instead. Maybe even add a priority flag to it..
