Yes, although not built-in. An example of a interactive shell is
available in the source distribution in
utils/solvers/c++/interactive.cpp
To use this shell you must launch Gmsh with the "Always listen to
incoming connection requests" option turned on (in
Tools->Options->Solver). Then, while Gmsh is running, you simply connect
to the shell by specifying the socket name, e.g.:
interactive.exe localhost:44122
You can then execute any command interactively as if it was in a script.
(It should be quite easy to write a similar interactive shell in Python
or Perl. If you do we'll add it in the distribution.)
