FWIW, bash I believe, is the grey haired old man in the shell arena, I 
was using it way back in my amiga days as someone had apparently ported 
it to amigados 2 decades and change ago.  We also had ksh and csh, but 
they didn't have the power of bash or ARexx.  And I still miss ARexx. 
Even bash cannot do the intimate to the os things that ARexx could do.
