This same idea of highlighting code and executing it is captured
by Eval.  You can find the program some where on the archives,
perhaps named as source/Eval.tar.Z.  Glen Diener (grd@ccrma.stanford.edu)
is the author of this cool little app.

Eval provides itself as a service.  When you highlight any text,
you can ask Eval to execute it as Objective-C or execute it as
PostScript.  The PostScript is the easy part.  When Eval has a
request to execute some Objective-C, it forks off cc with a
minimal environment and Eval-library, then dynamically links
the object into itself and executes it.

Mind the $2,500,000.00 shareware fee though...
