[Coco] emulator reading standard input

On some emulators for other machines that I have used, I can
select-and-copy text from a text editor and paste it into the window
running the emulator, and the emulator accepts the text as if it had
been typed at the keyboard.

When I try this on xroar, it activates debugging trace in the background
shell. Do any of you who use xroar know of a way to get xroar to move
standard input to the emulated machine besides changing things in the
source and re-compiling?

Also, can the mame emulators be induced to read standard input?

(I haven't yet been able to figure out how to tell mame to read the
rom images I have, so I haven't been able to test it for myself.)

One of these days I'll get someone to pay me
to design a language that combines the best of Forth and C.
Then I'll be able to leap wide instruction sets with a single #ifdef,
run faster than a speeding infinite loop with a #define,
and stop all integer size bugs with my bare cast.
