[Coco] The Coco's first webserver, written in Basic09

[Christian Lesage]

It looks like there's no EVAL statement in BASIC09, but perhaps the RUN 
statement could be used, where every web page would be a procedure that 
the server RUNs upon request. I'm not sure if it's feasible/practical, 
as I haven't programmed in BASIC09 during the last 20 years.
