It's funny you would mention that. I just so happen to have created a variation
of the JSshell load() function that optionally executes a script in a separate
(background) thread, and communicates with the parent thread using an instance
of a bi-directional Queue class I created for this purpose. The details on the
usage and the Queue class can be found here:
