[Coco] Shell+ - SYS/shell.parameters

Back when NitrOS-9 was a commercially sold and maintained set of patches to stock OS-9, I had a Shell+ that would launch and set parameters like PATH= and stuff. I e-mailed Bill about this, and he nudged my memory. Sure enough, looking on my old hard drive image I find “cc3go” and “cc3go.mine”. 

cc3go has text inside saying it is from 1.16j, and cc3go has references to the config file:

SYS/shell.parameters

If I recall, this is where you could dump things like

PATH=/DD/CMDS /DD/CMDS.ALS /DD/CMDS/BBS

and other config things and it would be read when the shell spawned. Does anyone know what happened to this cc3go and shell combination? Having a shell that starts up without any of my customizations is jarring.
