When msh spawns another instance of itself (e.g., msh starts EMACS which 
spawns another copy of msh) is does not read the profile file.  I presume that
this difference in behaviour is why msh has to know where it came from.

It also does not inherit shell variables (it does, however, inherit 
environment variables) which means that commands defined in the .bin or .cmd 
pseudo-directories are not available in 2nd (and subsequent) copy of the shell.

Does dLibs or any other public domain library contain a version of "regexp"?
