A great shell program!  I recommend it.

These three commands implement only a subset of the trio found on *nix.
WShell is extensible, and I have successfully written a library of commands
that add the full *nix implementation of the three commands.  One problem
I found though, is that if you tell WShell to use your own library, it will
forget all about it's internal commands.  Thus, with the current version
of WShell you have to implement the internal commands so that they are
resident.  This is not too difficult, except for the batch commands, but
hey, I have and use AREXX so I didn't put those in.

Mr. Hawes told me that the problem of WShell tossing out it's internal
commands when you install your own command library will be fixed in a 
future version.  At that time I will consider sending my library off to
c.b.a unless there is enough interest.
