Hi Waldek, during our work on jfricas, we first had a version that needed the filesystem in order to interpret a Jupyter cell with multiline FriCAS input. Code was first written to a temporary .input file and then read back for interpretation.
The problem was where to save that temporary file until I realized that one can easily tweak the )read routine and give it the lines from memory instead of reading it from the filesystem. The result is the function "interpret-block" in webspad.lisp. https://github.com/fricas/jfricas/blob/master/jfricas/webspad.lisp#L101 (attached below) I think that function should rather live inside FriCAS itself (chose a name that you like). For my day-to-day work I use the axiom-environment of Paul Onions. https://bitbucket.org/pdo/axiom-environment/src/master/ I guess that Frontend would also benefit from that function. What do you think? Should a prepare a pull-request?
