Effect: calls a function containing <lpc commands>
Example: If you type:
  eval return 1 + cos( 0.0 )
the command creates a temporary file in your home dir containing the line:
  eval() { return 1 + cos( 0.0 ); }
then does call_other on the files's eval() function, giving:
  Result = 2.000000
EndText
  );
  return 1;
