[Rd] help with sockets

[Erich Neuwirth]

i would like to use sockets to accept commands over the net.
so a socket should be a replacement for stdin.
whenever i have a complete line, i want to hand it over to the parser.

i cannot do it simply with eval because eval expects a complete
expression.

additionally, eval and evalq
seem not to accept strings.

is there an easy way to do this?

let me rephrase

my program should run a loop reading a socket,
and whenever an and of line arrives,
the string should be handled like if it had been typed on the command
line.

can this be done easily?
