I don't think there are any restrictions.
I think you can even have multitasking if you want.
Obviously, I haven't tested everything though.

If you try to *execute* an open_dll under DOS,
you'll get an error. So you'll need to check platform()
and avoid that. You should make sure your modified front-end
runs with ex.exe, not just exw.exe. 

I'm not sure we ever agreed on EUforum that
what you are doing is fine with everyone else, 
but you can certainly try it and let us know how it works.
