I'm not sure if this is right, since apparently they've removed the  
"shell" command from the Workspace under 3.0 and I don't have a 2.0  
machine handy to test it, but, the workspace may be getting its info  
from the defaults database.  I know it maintains an  
"applicationspath" variable, which says where your NeXT apps live,  
this may or may not be the same thing.

To look at your defaults, you can do a "dread" but I can't remember  
the syntax of that, or get DefaultsMgr from the archives.

Anyone know why they took the shell out of 3.0?
