[Coco] Shell+ - SYS/shell.parameters

[Bill Pierce]

Yes, we need this back. CC3go is small and easy to disassembled (already have) and then the changes added to the current sysgo and we got it.
All it does is add a cmd to read the "config" file and the config paremeters are read and thrown into the shell parameter buffer for when the main shell is forked.
Simple code :-)

I remember this version of CC3Go as well - we even used it for a colored border 
splash screen for the NitrOS9 boot (after the main OS was loaded). I usually ran 
it from disk, rather than as part of the boot itself; that way, once it 
finished, it wasn’t taking up memory (system or otherwise) anymore.
Same reason that I added extra (optional) parameters in the config file that 
GShell 1.26 used - to help make things more consistent, and let users set up 
things more easily.

on my old hard drive image I find “cc3go” and “cc3go.mine”.

anyone know what happened to this cc3go and shell combination? Having a shell 
that starts up without any of my customizations is jarring.
