Well, not all that easy:

hecl> set foo bar
bar (fine)
hecl> global xyz
bar (huh?)

Those commands that "return nothing" now reprint the last non-empty
result.

Btw., I'm not sure if that is new, or something on my side is odd
(e.g. me using jdk1.5), but during building it complained that
a method getStringRep() is being overriden to possibly throw an
exception, where the base-class' version did not throw anything.
Java (rightly) doesn't like that at all.

I quick-fixed it for me by adding "throws HeclException" to the
baseclass-method(husk).

Well, for one, I'd be happy to have back the plain output-command
that was once there (at least you said you removed it; I didn't
check, because I don't have the tools to compile for microedition)
together with a way to save scripts.

I know java language, but not yet much of the libraries, and also not
much about the microedition. I just wish/hope for a new Hecl.jar
that I could upload to my phone, that would be like the first one
- plus the save-feature :-)
