/*
 * The information below is used for communication between processes
 * during "send" commands.  Each process keeps a private window, never
 * even mapped, with one property, "Comm".  When a command is sent to
 * an interpreter, the command is appended to the comm property of the
 * communication window associated with the interp's process.  Similarly,
 * when a result is returned from a sent command, it is also appended
 * to the comm property.
 *
 * Each command and each result takes the form of ASCII text.  For a
 * command, the text consists of a nul character followed by several
 * nul-terminated ASCII strings.  The first string consists of a
 * single letter:
 * "c" for an expression
 * "k" for keystrokes
 * "r" for reply
 * "n" for notification.
 * Subsequent strings have the form "option value" where the following options
 * are supported:
 *
 * -r commWindow serial
 *
 *	This option means that a response should be sent to the window
 *	whose X identifier is "commWindow" (in hex), and the response should
 *	be identified with the serial number given by "serial" (in decimal).
 *	If this option isn't specified then the send is asynchronous and
 *	no response is sent.
 *
 * -n name
 *	"Name" gives the name of the application for which the command is
 *	intended.  This option must be present.
 *
 * -E encoding
 *	Encoding name used for the text.  This is the 'encoding' of the
 *	sender.  The receiver may want to do conversion to his 'encoding'.
 *
 * -s script
 *	"Script" is the script to be executed.  This option must be
 *	present.  Taken as a series of keystrokes in a "k" command where
 *	<Key>'s are expanded
 *
 * The options may appear in any order.  The -n and -s options must be
 * present, but -r may be omitted for asynchronous RPCs.  For compatibility
 * with future releases that may add new features, there may be additional
 * options present;  as long as they start with a "-" character, they will
 * be ignored.
 *
 * A result also consists of a zero character followed by several null-
 * terminated ASCII strings.  The first string consists of the single
 * letter "r".  Subsequent strings have the form "option value" where
 * the following options are supported:
 *
 * -s serial
 *	Identifies the command for which this is the result.  It is the
 *	same as the "serial" field from the -s option in the command.  This
 *	option must be present.
 *
 * -r result
 *	"Result" is the result string for the script, which may be either
 *	a result or an error message.  If this field is omitted then it
 *	defaults to an empty string.
 *
 * -c code
 *	0: for OK. This is the default.
 *	1: for error: Result is the last error
 *
 * -i errorInfo
 * -e errorCode
 *	Not applicable for Vim
 *
 * Options may appear in any order, and only the -s option must be
 * present.  As with commands, there may be additional options besides
 * these;  unknown options are ignored.
