What's wrong with using the non-interactive frontends? Or a non-interactive
option for normal frontends?

I haven't got Ian's proposal in my archives here. Can you mail it or do
you have an URL somewhere?

TEXT is currently defined is a method to add explanatory text to the
questions. Maybe we should add a command oposite to GO, which says
"start building a new display, of type (error|message|input)". Then
we could ditch the RESET command and use that instead. Maybe even add
a priority flag to it..
