You're, of course, calling your dog "Rex" aren't you?  :-)

We could close the stream, and re-open with "write replace", couldn't we?
Am I misunderstanding something here?


As we're intending to change how the command handlers work, there's one
comment I'd like to make.
I had experimented how to best resolve the full path to a given shell
(commend environment) name.  As I wouldn't want to do this on each command
handler call, but as a one-time setup only, I noticed that there's no way
to do that because of the fixed command handler interface.

Might we have an additional full-path argument to command handlers?
