My current thinking is that the low level Tcl should allow synthesizing
friendly commands on top.

Rick was talking about writing an obsolete.tcl to show how old commands
could be implemented.

One would then add -f neat.cfg on the command line to get another list
of commands.

I've also been thinking about moving telnet tcl parser into tcl such that
an alternative telnet GUI can be implemented, e.g. BDI compatible :-)
