I modified REPLServer to do all of the above except for CTRL-d, colour and
Alt-word skipping. I originally made it so that I could do stuff that breaks
Morphic then still be able to use and recover the image.

REPLServer uses telnet but can be modified to use other input/output
mechanisms such as stdin/stdout or Display/EventSensor.

REPLServer is loadable in Squeak 3.9, 3.10 using the Packages Universe, or
http://www.squeaksource.com/SecureSqueak (I should really put it in its own
project at some stage). Its documentation is available as "online help" from
the CLI.
