I haven't been using my Amiga much recently what with assignments etc.
but in this time I have got used to UNIX's friendliness with ENV's and
that kind of thing. When I go back to my Amiga (waiting for VirusX 4.02)
it would be nice to be able to specify what kind of shell I want as above
in the startup without any nonsense.
