Seems to me that Metacomco came through in the clinch with AmigaDos and
Basic.  To this day on the few occasions I do use basic I use 
Metacomco's.  Something about the Microsoft version bothers me.  Like
working at 300 baud.  Given the fact that they had very little time
to do what they did I think their efforts at Amiga software have
succeded.  
	I did try the shell for a bit, and I found that it did not
deal well with some programs.  Unfortunantly I cannot remember what
since it was so long ago.  I think it might have been one of
the various Emacses that are floating around.
