Sorry out of luck. None of the shells I know (except ofcourse my own) cannot
be called from a child process. The MWC development system provides a 
'system' call, but this merely starts a new shell, therefor using 'system'
with MWC seems to take forever.

My own shell is completely recursive to allow shell scrips to be run by 
the same instance of the shell that accepts keyboard commands. Only a slight
deviation  from complete recursiveness will make it impossible to implement
the system call interface as my shell does. 

As for mCS: it can't do what you have in mind.....
