Yes, 3.10 as distributed CANNOT SHELL OUT. Part of the
problem is that it attempts to use MWC library routines
without being "in" a MWC shell environment. The other part
is that there is no attempt to clean up GEM and the mouse
handlers before shelling out. 


I have resolved most of this by reworking "atari.c" and "st520.c",
(i-shell works, filters and pipes are broken.)

I am planning on integrating 3.10 with micro-rtx and your favorite
shell to provide a shell co-process. If this takes too long I might
be convinced to post the repaired source files to allow at least
i-shell functions.
