I didn't try, I only wanted to stop my screen looking like a fruit

Ah good, that's why it doesn't quite work then. :)

I guess a possibility would be to split the browsing part out to a
separate .el, which I see is how it was in the dim dark past.  I guess
if it spat biggish chunks of code down to the running gst it might be
able to get away without Browser.st too.

Is the -p to support running as an emacs sub-process in general
(rather than just for the browser)?  That feature (however
implemented) might be worth keeping.
