What i meant is that the communication channel is already provided by comint-mode, in the form of a pipe or a telnet connection and emacs buffers for the data, if the protocol is text-based. The 'protocol' would be a Factor vocabulary that shows the relevant info in s-exps when needed. Right now, 'help' and 'see' outputs are already obtained from the running factor, using the vanilla text output of the words. I'm guessing that the implementations of the help & prettyprint vocabularies are a good starting point to see how to do that.
