WShell is a commercial product from William S Hawes (the author of
ARexx).  It should not be available by FTP or download from anywhere
It is available for purchase at a very reasonable price from Bill
Hawes, or from any number of Amiga software dealers.

I recently purchased it directly from Bill Hawes when I last upgraded
my copy of ARexx.  WShell has a number of nifty features, especially
for the ARexx user, including direct, built-in support for ARexx
scripts within the shell (of course!), a number of useful builtin
commands, local and global environment variables, a very flexable
aliasing system, direct ConMan support (ConMan is another of William
Hawes' products), and a number of useful system enhancements, like a
filename completion package and a path manager (have you ever wished
you could assign FONTS: to a multi-volume or multi-directory path?).

I recommend  WShell.  Like ARexx, its not expensive, and performs very
well.
