actually, what i meant by "edit-time" behavior was thinking about being able 
to program words that can "do stuff" while you are working on the source 
code. small widgets, or built in graphics or database editors.  just like 
how words can do stuff during compile time, perhaps there could be words 
that initiated tiny applications when you click on them with the mouse. but 
maybe that would be messy, and i think i'm getting off track here anyway.
