I like the sound of that. :) It vaguely reminds me of the arcane command 
syntax of the monitor program on early SUN workstations. We didn't get 
to toggle in a boot loader program, but that was almost as good. ;-)

! is already being used for shell escapes, which is pretty much standard 
for any kind of Unix program with a command line. For the occasional 
shell command that's good enough. But I hate it if I have to prefix 
basic stuff like 'cd' or 'ls' which are in my muscle memory.

Besides that, it's really cool if I run Pure in the Kate terminal pane 
and Kate properly synchronizes the interpreter with the directory of the 
current edit window. That only works because the interpreter knows how 
to handle a plain 'cd' command. It's a minor point, but actually Kate 
works pretty well as an edit+run environment for Pure, and its folding 
support rocks.
