   Since nobody can figure out what VIC is actually supposed to do, 
that's either going to be pretty difficult, or dead easy (depending on 
how cynical one is).
   Can't you give even one concrete example of how you envision this 
working?  Forget about whether you actually have all nine commands 
working, how do you plan on having them work together to do some simple 
task that we can understand.
   Here's a simple python program to count the lines in a specific file:

f = open("myfile.txt")
l = f.readlines()
print len(l), " lines"

Run on itself as input it prints:
3 lines.

How would you accomplish the equivalent with VIC commands?
