It should be possible (I have not tested this on csound5) to type in score 
lines
on-the-fly using -Lstdin.

I used to do that on Win95 and Silicon Graphics with older versions of csound.
On the SGI (UNIX in general), you can also pipe score lines from other
programs in a similar way (that's how cecilia works in realtime).

For instance, say you write a midi input parser and control instrument 
that is always on. And then you write a new input mode say a day before 
a show and you think it's been tested adequately but it crashes because 
of a non existent table number, and suddenly your midi hardware doesn't 
do anything any more and the music starts to get kinda boring. You can 
go over to a terminal, type in

i128 0 10000

and be back in business. Not that *we* would ever have something like 
that happen to us in a show, no siree!! ; )

( The even more embarassing thing is that we only came up with the quick 
solution after the fact. But we tested it and it does indeed work. )
