So there isn't any special standalone option to compile a *.livecode file into a command line app like *.exe. I just compile a standalone for the appropriate system, somehow get rid of the GUI, and tell it how to read/write STDIN/STDOUT?
Is that as simple as compiling a script-only stack into a standalone, or maybe setting the visible of the mainstack to false?
