Richard,

Thanks for the reply.  Can you confirm that you can make this work on a Linux
machine with no display manager / window manager (I'm not sure of the correct
terminology)?

Better yet, you can test it yourself - Debian 4.0 server:

<http://fourthworldlabs.com/cgi-bin/tsa.cgi>

The cgi file includes only what's needed to launch the standalone:

   #!sa -ui

Here's the script in the standalone:

   on startup
     put "Standalone - Engine version "& the version into tData
     put "Content-length: "& len(tData) &cr&cr
     put tData &cr&cr
     quit
   end startup

I hope you get this resolved. I was playing around with making a custom interactive shell using "read from stdin", and it's a lot of fun to have so much flexibility in a CLI, every bit as capable in terms of interaction as using R, MySQL, or other CLIs.
