        Sounds kinda like you want a "restricted shell".  Yes,  it can
be done.  The command processing code in CMS wasn't exactly designed to
be replaced,  but since it's accessible via SVC 202,  you can pretty
easily "front end" it with your own "application".  In C,  the system()
function call may help you get your code up quickly;  it calls SVC 202.
Note that other applications,  like XEDIT,  which invoke SVC 202 will
get CMS directly and NOT your shell,  unless you hook into the SVC 202
chain,  which is hairy.

        CMS would see your code as just another application.  You'll
have to invoke it manually or from PROFILE EXEC.  If you want to run
other "application" programs from your shell,  then you need to LOAD
it with the (RLDSAVE option before GENMODing and NUCXLOAD the resultant
MODULE.  This way,  your code can be relocated out of the way of non-
relocatable programs.  It's not perfect.
