	Yeah, I know.  The manual is _really_ incomplete.  Few people
	know (or want to know) how to do this stuff.  I imagine that
	it'd be possible, but, considering that the shell is not
	supposed to require a user's manual, I found a couple of blind
	alleys that forced me to kill it from another terminal.

	I _did_not_ like the vsh, but then, I'm a programmer, right?
	I actually find the ksh indispensable, so anytime I end up on
	a new machine I port it over...

	Like my summary, vsh emulates intergalactic vacuum.  It's really
	pretty good at it, too...
