As an experiment I tried going through the code for ved_imcsh to see if
I could modify it to define define ved_impop to run pop11 in a separate
process via a pop11 window, as emacs users do.

So far I have failed miserably!

But my code is such a mess I'll not try posting it till I've had time
to try again more systematically.

The fact that it is so difficult is worrying.

Has anyone tried/managed to get bash to work in an immediate mode
window in Ved?
