This would be easily feasible on the TI-92, where you could take
the Fargo II driver source (ermm.. as soon as I release it) and
write an E2 library. Of course you'd have to be pretty careful
with the stack and memory organization, but I think its possible
with some kind of special shell. If either the ASE or Rascall
source were availible it'd also be somewhat possible on the 86;
indeed, a version of Rascall that lists programs on the E2
as well as the local calculator would be pretty neat too.
