Iirc, I wrote a patch to the #@ command which allows multiple-line commands
just like in the python shell. I'll try to dig it up, but that might take
some time.

Sure - as far as i know, the lyntin commands don't have "return values", so
it would be pointless for any function to try to get something back from a
lyntin command it executed...

Yes, with a slight patch. As you can see in the documentation for #if, all
it does is evaluating python expressions. It's somewhat like #@ with a "call
command if argument evaluates to true" clause, with the difference that it
evaluates in an empty namespace. If you change the eval() call in if_cmd(),
modules/tintincmds.py, to ,,eval(expr, globalsdict, localsdict)'' with the
two additional arguments being dictionaries of your choice (for example
advanced.execdictglobals, advanced.execdictlocals from module/advanced.py,
you would have to import that module first), it should work fine.

Best regards,
Tiger.
