Should be explained in your manual at the NewShell command.
Click once on the Shell icon, call the "Info" menu item ("Information"
for OS 2.0) and add a Tool Type line:
WINDOW=newcon:0/0/640/200/MyShell       (for 1.3)
WINDOW=con:0/0/640/200/MyShell/CLOSE    (for 2.0)
The CLOSE option for 2.0 gives you the Shell window with a close gadget.
Eventually you must choose smaller coordinates (those 640 and 200), if
the border is counted with them, you may experiment a bit with these
values.
