OK, I dug out the Unix-like shell. It's called "sh", is 48 KB long, and
according to Linux's strings utility was written in C and has quite a few options.
Use the -h=N option to set the number of History command lines it will
remember.
My startup file uses
sh -luh=10 <>>>/w6
The -l means "require Logout to exit" and is equivalent to the -i "Immortal"
Microware Coco shell.
(The OS9 "dump" utility will show you the strings too, if you're patient.
You can always tell C programs by the ***STACK OVERFLOW*** message contained in
them).
One error message is "Command line too complicated" so be warned. I've never
hit it :-)
Date is 10/27/89 and author is "ram". It seems to handle termcap settings.
