There are definitely people I can talk to about adding NewtonScript highlighting to Nova. :)  Plus, it can do build tasks too...

So, my next question in all this is what is the process for implementing NOS system calls?  For example, what would be a minimally viable NewtonScript to open a view or a window, and how do we create a binding for that in Newt64 so it does something on the host system when it runs?
