Could I display graphics by just sending immediate commands in sequence to the command line to execute. Here are several different instances: Serial control of Picomite I have a number of applications where one PicoMite talks to another over serial (or some other device uses serial to talk to a PicoMite. It can be a bare PicoMite which just accepts normal commands, or it can run a program to execute an expected set of commands, or, if a line begins with "!", execute the command which follows on the line. So sending "! pin(GP3)=1" would result in the receiving program doing: EXECUTE "pin(GP3)=1" It's a really handy way to set pins or variables without having to load a new program. There are complications if the sender needs to receive back a confirmation or other response. Some of that is addressed in the link above.
