Problem:
Invoking the "shell" command to get an interactive shell in a window abnormally
terminates with an error code of 1.  I have looked in the archives of bugs
on prep.ai.mit.edu (volumes 10-18) but have found nothing really relevant to 
this problem. I'm thinking that it has to be something pretty easy, but 
haven't found it yet.  Could it be the argument passing method in process.c?
Perhaps a DEFINE that I neglected? Any help would be greatly appreciated...

P.S. running a shell-command works okay.
SHELL environment variable looks okay pointing at /bin/csh. 
Maybe something in the hooking for the interactivity?
