command line examples

[Bernard Devlin]

The old engine used to be able to execute scripts.  That is, you could
invoke the engine using something like this:

#!/path/to/engine

on startup
     put "hello"
end startup

IIRC this functionality was removed at the time that the "on-rev"
product was launched.  Perhaps the functionality was removed for
technical reasons, perhaps for market segmentation purposes.
