Commands like this can be paced in the "Your Commands" menu directly
(without the shelltool---viz "ps ax") and output seems to be
redirected to the console.  One mode of operation is to have a console
window permanently open to view the results of your filemanager
commands.  I do this for commands like "make" and "make clean".
