Well with my pc532 down I have some time to actually catch up on news.
I got sick of sh after a while and ported rc (the one sent out over
the net not so long ago). It posted very easily. It allows aliasing/functions
and although alittle strange at first, it alot better than sh for alot of
things.

When my hard disk is back up...(oh for a month or two without it down)
I'll post the sources as modified. If someone can port GNU readline
the shell will allow command editing.
