Why invent yet another language? If I were going to do this, either building
in support for JavaScript, or using a current embeddable language such as
Tcl, Python, Perl, seems like the approach I would use. Designing a language
that only can be used by Lynx browsers seems less than optimal. Lynx
is unlikely to gain the community that JavaScript has.

Does Slang provide multi-window support? I suspect that ncurses does.
Perhaps multiple windows could be handled in curses/ncurses/slang
compiles of lynx.
