   Try unpacking a shar archive that someone has mailed you sometime.
   You have to copy it from Mail, paste it into Edit, save it, close it, then
   run sh on it from the Shell, and delete the temporary Edit file.
   It would be oh-so-nice to be able to copy it from Mail, and say
   "paste | sh" or "sh </dev/scrap".

Heck, I do this all the time from within GNU Emacs.  I thought NeXT
was supposed to have the latest word in user interfaces!
