Thanks for your kind words. I am forced to admit, though, that a Smalltalk
implemention of a Unix command line shell is pretty far off on the useless
end of the spectrum. But with suitable encouragement, I might be prompted (sic)
to forge onward. Next on my agenda is an implementation of Model33ksrMorph,
which will implement a tty interface on which to enter commands to the Shell.
This will hopefully be viewed as significant advance over the somewhat archaic
PunchedCard previously implemented by Bob Arning.

Just kidding. Maybe.

	I don't think it's useless either - I am working on a commercial system in VisualWorks which uses this feature. 

Keep it up
