Well, I looked at the wiki, specifically "All pages" and the pages
that seemed useful.

This completely changes the use case.  I'll see if I can install 1.6a9
on any machines.  1.5 is running on installations I can't change.

Evidently.  The question about aborting from evaluations may apply to
other situations though.

Good point, that the command line isn't the focus of Firebug's design.

That's all there is to a simple LISP or Scheme too: read a string,
evaluate it, and print it.  The string may call eval, or call
functions that call eval.  Many LISPs/Schemes have the idea of
abandoning the eval (the outer one, of the string).  Many have various
forms of stepping or error analysis or error recovery.  Features like
that aren't completely standardized though.
