In _UNIX shell programming_ by L. J. Arthur on page 245 he talks
about "restricted shells".  As a UNIX beginner (sort of) and the
proud owner (sort of) of a SUN 3/50 I am very interested in this.  Since the
version of UNIX we run isn't his, and his script doesn't work, I could
really use some not-overly-cryptic advice on which way to go next.
Hopefully, somebody has an equivilent chunk of code somewhere I could
look at.  I'm not even a CS person, so have mercy.
