Just some ideas:

* Make callback() available in DOS (seems to be an easy task).

* Make it possible to pass floats to C functions (type-casting, eh?).

* Add some sort of define_mach_proc/func(), something like this:
   (a = pointer to machine-code block)
   a = define_mach_func(a, {C_POINTER,C_UCHAR},C_INT)
  and then I would be able to do this:
   i = mach_func(a,{#B8000,10})
  (or perhaps we could use c_proc/func() to call these routines once
   they've been defined?)

* Some sort of definition command would be useful. Example:
   ifdef WIN32
    --Windows code goes here
   endif
   ifdef LINUX
    -- Linux code goes here
   endif

   define short_name(x) very_long_function_name(x)


* Let us do stuff like this:
   atom a = PI/180.0
   sequence s1,s2
   s1 = s2 = {"Plea",se.."}

* Add routines for block-based file i/o:
   s = read_file(handle,size)
   mem_read_file(handle,buffer,size)
   + write routines.
