Well, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but sometimes

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
