Well, it can be done. Quite easily in fact.
Depending on what you are using to get the new shell, (but the principle is
the same for almost all methods).

For example, if you use the 'shell' icon on the WB disk, try this:
 WINDOW NEWCON:0/11/568/189/DaShell
(Put this in the lower of the specification box (can't think of it's name
at the moment :-|.) This opens a shell called 'DaShell', at one pixel down
from the menu, to the bottom of the screen on an NTSC screen, and 568
pixels wide.

Now, to do this from the CLI, try this.
 Newshell window newcon:ox/oy/wx/wy/name
(a window at ox,oy, wx wide, wy deep, with name as its title)

Hope that helps.
