Bill Hawes (of conman and ARexx fame) has a new shell coming out in
February.  Completely CLI compatible, plus aliases, ARexx support,
pipes (if you're running conman), resident commands (he checksums the
commands) and a very versatile prompt.  I've been testing it; one of
the options I have enabled is to display current dir in the title bar.
Another option that I don't use is to display the return code in the
prompt.  There are a number of other prompt options.

Right now the shell has no built-in commands.  Bill is thinking about
putting in commands like IF and the usual script commands, since they're
small and would make scripts run MUCH faster.

I don't make any money from Bill, etc...
