     The Idea I had was to get a version of NewCli that would accept
another argument.  If you were to give the command   
           newcli c:shell s:.login
the system would startup a newcli and then automagicly run the first
command on the line .. the rest would get passed to the program that
is to be executed.  Another Idea was to have another magic file in the
s: directory.  Somthing like newcli-sequence.  And have newcli
modified to automaticly execute this file *whenever* newcli is run.
This would be a *VERY* useful feature.  

   These are just a few suggestions I have about how to get the amiga
more customisable. ( is that a word???    It is now..)   
   A suggestion to Matt Dillon. You keep talking about BCPL.  Does
this mean that you want to make your shell resident????  THIS WOULD BE
GREAT!  But would your shell appear when you spawn out of any of the
standard programs?
