'Naos' uses the Emacs as reference user interface, communicating over pipes. I also remember now J. Hall's Robot simulation (game?), which uses curses for the user interface and guile scheme for the extension, where ncurses does not interfere with the scheme interpreter at all. It should also be in the archive, summer 98 I guess. -- Klaus Schilling
