I also am keen to use LiveCode to write "shell" programs and believe that it is
possible by adopting a slightly different approach. I believe that if you build
a "standalone" of your script, you can run the 'standalone" program with the
-ui argument.
I performed a small test under Revolution 4.0. I created a new stack and added
the following handler to the stack:
on startup
put "Hello Console"
quit
end startup
I created a standalone and then ran the executable from a shell console using
the -ui option :
Rodney:MacOS peter$ ./CLTest -ui
Hello Console
Rodney:MacOS peter$
It's not much of a test but it did work. I would expect the technique to work
just as well under Linux.
It would be even better if there was an option to build a GUI-less program when
building a standalone in LiveCode though.

Peter
