From the keyboard of harrison@csl.dl.nec.com (Mark Harrison):
:How can I make the system() call use [kc]shell instead of /bin/sh?
:I am currently doing system("ksh -c \"cmd\"");

That's really all you can do.  You do *NOT* want it to use csh,
because then you'd lose a lot of functionality, and you can't be
sure it'll be installed either.
