Yes -- just run bp++ -nogui to run w/out gui -- you'll get a prompt
from which you can do anything you could do in the gui.
bp++ -nogui -f script.css will automatically run the script -- see
startup.css in pdp++/css/include for an example.

Also, James Hammerton <james@tardis.ed.ac.uk> offered the following
comment to me regarding this situation:

ps. are you from Earlham college?  My grad student Seth Herd
(sethherd@psych.colorado.edu) is an alum from there..
