Correct.

The strategy of defining a "COM" object will work fine.

You can also easily add support single word command in the interpreter  
view by modifying the "command:from:" method in FSInterpreterView to  
test for the class of the result and, if it is of a given class (e.g.  
NEAFSCommand), ask it to execute its command. Note that this approach  
will only work for single word command entered interactively (i.e.,  
not inside scripts). if you want to support single word commands  
inside scripts, you'll have to digg deeper in the run-time, but it  
should still be fairly easy. The loop inside the "STATEMENT_LIST: "  
case of the execute_rec() function in FSExecEngine.m is probably the  
place where you'll want to insert the code supporting single word  
commands.
