calling Livecode from other languages

[Matt Maier]

Please correct me if any of the following is wrong.

So in general we can run a standalone executable from the command line. It
will fire up in whatever way it knows how. Normally that means the GUI will
appear and the program will read/write visually. But if the code knows to
listen on STDIN and respond on STDOUT (or more accurately redirect them?),
then all visible elements can be hidden* and just the command line can be
used to interact with the standalone.

* One way is to pass -ui as confirmed by a couple discussions on using
Livecode from the command line, but I can't find -ui in google searches.
Another way is to set the visible of the stack to false. Another way is to
set the location of the stack to somewhere off screen.
