I'm surprised with all the replies that no one has mentioned
that the fileio sample and the telnetd network-demo both
use the shell code.

Please submit corrections and improvements to the shell
code.   It is already in good shape and has a lot of functionality
with the capability to run simple script files even.  Chris has
promised to add some conditional logic to the shell and
has already added some command line editing.  It is a nice
addition and has some very nice ways to look into a running
system -- mount, format, cpuuse, rtmonuse, wkspace, mallocstats,
etc. :-D
