   Well, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but sometimes
   interoperability trumps imitation. :-)

 Thanks for those comments Darren, Eric's were very good also, but
 comming from the python direction, I'm getting more enlightenment.
 and in the *nix environment, I suppose I could try C's popen() as
 well.

 Let me build on my question here: 
 How about TCP/IP? Would it be that difficult to set up a 
 "Template Toolkit Server" on a socket protocol? That
 way, one could use rebol/core, which does not do system
 calls but has good port functionality. And the "server"
 would not even have to reside on the same machine as
 the client. (I think <duh>)

 THanks to all for comments.
 cheers
