Hi Waldek, In jfricas I needed a function that could interpret multiline code. Initially, this was done by writing out the code to a file and then use )read file.input. Eventually, I traced down what actually happens when fricas reads a .input file and so put together a function that as input gets a string (possibly with newlines) that is then interpreted as if it came from a file.
I think |interpret-block| should be part of FriCAS. Maybe under another name, which one would you like? I do not exactly know where it would best fit in FriCAS, so it would be good, if you can put this on your TODO-list. It certainly could also help in the fricas terminal input if there where a method that not immediately sends input to the interpreter, but waits, for example, if the input line contained an open parenthesis.
