It would be an extremely powerful feature, and it doesn't sound enormously
difficult: the docs say Quick has two input buffers (p337): pending screen
input buffer (psib) for conditional command lists, operated on by the existing
push verb, and the rapid fire buffer (rfb) for user entered commands and/or
data. We need a pushtext verb for the rfb. It would be nice if it accepted
unprintable keystrokes too (ctrl keys, the F keys, and defined keys), so that
the 'commands' in tables 3.5 - 3.11 could all be used programmatically.
It gets my vote.
