I have seen TWO products that do stuff like that.  I BELIEVE that both can be 
gotten from other sources, but I got them from foxtalk and foxpro advisor. 
They are codeblock (lets you write actual programs that can be interpreted at 
runtime) and runfox (lets you type from a command window, but only single 
line stuff unless its an fxp.).  If I can find a site (internet or fidonet) 
that they are available on, I will post the address here (and maybe make them 
available here as well).
