I have already started taking steps to do this. But my proposal will
allow any interface to be used, including HTML. Basically when a grass
program needs to print or input data, it does so through a generic
function call. That function call checks which interface is being used
and then calls the appropriate function in the interface code. If you
want a specific interface, you only need to code the interface
functions. You would not have to touch any Grass core functions.

I am only doing a small part of this. As you say, it will take a lot of
work to do all of grass. But at least I will provide a model that others
can follow.

This already exists in tcltkgrass under the quit menu item.
