Sounds good. In some ways I like the current mechanism where it just 
evaluates the one line, because it can be used in a similar manner to the 
command-line or python. But it is awkward for running larger amounts of 
code e.g. defining new functions. So I'm still a little unsure about the 
best way to handle this - I'll be interested to see your version.
