(It also follows that if you wrote a full shellscript, in a .mdsh file
or something, the compiler would, when compiling it, start in MiniD

I'm a little confused on the escaping. In one example, it looks like %
turns MiniD alternately on and off, yet you say you'd have to escape
every
line in a script file?
I'm sure if you read what I've quoted here, you'll see your mistake ;)
What it looks like to me then is:
if you are in interactive mode, the default is script mode, and % turns
miniD on and off, which continues beyond a single line
if you are in a script mode, then you are always in miniD mode, unless
it sees %, which turns it to script mode for a single line.
OK, that was *really* confusing, let me re-explain:
if you are in interactive mode, the default is shell mode, and % turns
miniD on and off, which continues beyond a single line
if you are in a script file, then you are always in miniD mode, unless it
sees %, which turns it to shell mode for a single line.
