I was tired to use inputbox for small code tests, I wanted something with multi-line support. First thing flashed in my mind was the Scratchpad from Mozilla Firefox Dev Tools. Then I made a simple dialog to get the code and run as a regular script, in user point of view it's like an $eval but for whole msl code.
