Well, about this shell thing...

I am currently working the bugs out of wsh version 1.0  If you are familiar
with the Unix ksh, you will know where I got my model.  Granted wsh is a far
cry from ksh; but it is a step in the correct direction.

Currently it supports the following internal commands:
	cd
	mkdir
	rmdir
	ls
	(drive change)

as well as the ability to launch commands.  I am designing an interface such
that applications can be launched from wsh and receive a handle to the edit
control that the cli uses to provide "console" output.  But that is destined
for version 2.0  For version 1.0, I will be happy to get rid of the Abnormal
Termination errors.  If you are despirate for a cli, I can make version 1.0
available for beta test.  But I would strongly discourage using it as your
SHELL= program, it will work most of the time; but I occasionally get start
up errors.

enough of my drivel...
email me if you would like a beta version of wsh...
