+- additional issues:
+
+  - missing dependency for shell.h?
+  - should not return an error message in client if command is not found
+  - server input needs to place files for input on a stack which is 
+    actually loaded by the RunScheduler loop
+  - have the client run a special multicommand function which passes 
+    any unfound commands along to the server.  the server should not 
+    be running multicommand, but it probably does not hurt.
+    (the client is not allowed to send ';' to the server)
+  - the multicommand needs to be available in the 'for' and other loops
+    this probably means unifying the client and non-client forms.  
+    how does multiclient get the value of the server?  I tend to use
+    globals for things like that, which is probably not the best 
+    practice.  is the client form of the tool generic? are there other
+    circumstances which would use a client/server beyond pantasks?
+    maybe pcontrol?  
+
+    the two pieces of information which need to be carried to the
+    multicommand and command functions in client/server mode are the 
+    server socket and the verbosity of the error messages.  these could
+    be defined on startup with globals and an init function of some sort.
 
 I need to do some serious work on the output messages in order
